Morakniv Woodcarving 120 (LC) – Natural

This is a real stalwart among experienced woodworkers worldwide. The laminated carbon steel has unparalleled toughness that can withstand lateral bending and has a cutting resistance that optimises its carving properties. It is also easy to re-sharpen so you can experience enjoyable carving over and over again.

With a barrel-shaped oiled Scandinavian FSC® certified birch wood handle and an approximately 2.7 mm thick, tapered laminated carbon steel blade, you can take your creativity to new levels. The knife’s full rat tail tang, which runs through the entire handle, provides both strength and stability in each cut and the handle gives you the opportunity to shape it to your own needs or expression. The knife should always be in the polymer sheath when not in use, partly to minimise the risk of cutting injury but also to maintain sharpness. Laminated carbon steel will rust, so wipe and oil the blade after use. The classic laminated carbon steel woodcarving knives are appreciated by our greatest craftsmen Jögge “Surolle” Sundkvist & Beth Moen, as well as by generations of craftsmen with a love of carving.

Carbon Steel

This steel grade is very popular among newcomers to woodcarving, shortened to (C).

The knife blades are polished and have a laser engraved logo, which differs from the laminated carbon steel blade.

Carbon steel knife blades are hardened to Rockwell scale, HRC 58-60 and provide the highest possible sharpness. The steel is easy to sharpen but requires more maintenance when exposed to corrosive environments. Make sure to keep the blade clean and dry.

Our carbon steel has a carbon content of 1%.

Laminated carbon steel

This steel grade is unique for knives from Morakniv and is a legendary steel for woodcarvers, shortened to (LC).

The core of the blade is made of high carbon steel surrounded by a softer alloyed steel layer. The knife blades from 2023 are polished and have a logo stamp, which differs from the earlier knives made before, when they weren’t polished.

The ones manufactured up until 2023 can sometimes be found to have a knotty or unfinished blade surface. It comes from the rollers in the rolling mill where the laminate steel is fused.

The polished surface adds protection from corrosion.

We love differences

We are now strengthening the ties to nature and making sure to expand the variety of oiled birch used for the handle. They can thus be a little darker, lighter, clearer fiber directions or of another beautiful difference. This does not affect the quality in any way but rather gives the craft knives a more personal grip.
