Morakniv 164 - Wood Carving Hook Blade

The most important thing when it comes to woodcarving is a sharp knife. Instead of being a wonderful, creative experience, it can become both irritating and dangerous if the knife is blunt. A really sharp knife gets you on the right path quite easily.  This knife has a single-edged carbon steel blade for right-hand use. The back of the knife is not sharp which gives you the possibility to use your left hand to push the blade with your fingers from the back. This blade has a narrow curve.

Morakniv has optimized the blade to make it run smooth over the inside of the spoon or bowl. Improved edge bevels complete the blade and give you the optimum carving experience.
