This iconic carving knife from Mora, Sweden, is not just a tool, but a piece of living history. Known as the "Nusnäs knife," it has been used for decades by the famous Dala horse carvers in the Swedish province of Dalarna.
Whether you practice wood carving as a hobby, craft, or meditative activity, this knife will accompany you with the precision, stability, and sharpness for which Morakniv is renowned worldwide.
Morakniv Carving Knife 120 (C) – Swedish tradition meets precise craftsmanship
For over 130 years, Morakniv has been manufacturing knives in the town of the same name, Mora, with unmatched dedication. The Woodcarving Knife 105 (LC) is a prime example of this long tradition: a classic woodcarving knife with a perfect balance between functionality, safety, and elegance.
The knife features an 84 mm long, narrow blade made of laminated carbon steel (100CR6). This combination of materials offers exceptional sharpness, excellent edge retention, and impressive resistance to lateral pressure – a decisive advantage when it comes to delicate woodwork.
The polished blade mirror not only gives the knife an elegant finish, but also protects the surface from corrosion.
Precision with every cut – for detailed work and decorative carving
The long, finely tapered blade of the Morakniv 105 (LC) makes it a versatile companion for all types of wood carving: from rough shaping to delicate detail work. Thanks to its full tang, the knife offers maximum stability, even under firm pressure or during precise, repeated movements.
Whether you are carving small figures, spoons, animals, or traditional Dala horses, the 105 (LC) always lies securely and evenly balanced in your hand.
Ergonomic handle made of Scandinavian birch – safe and comfortable
The knife is equipped with a larger, contoured wooden handle made of yellow birch, which is both visually and haptically impressive. An integrated finger guard provides additional safety when working, while the natural wood surface offers a comfortable grip – even during longer carving sessions.
The handle can be individually reworked or shaped as needed to fit your hand perfectly.
Laminated carbon steel – tough, durable, and razor sharp
The 2.7 mm thick blade is made of French laminated carbon steel, which is heat-treated at the Mora factory and hardened to 58.5 HRC. The result: a blade that stays extremely sharp, is easy to resharpen, and offers excellent toughness thanks to its three-layer structure.
After use, the blade should always be cleaned and lightly oiled to prevent rust, as with all carbon steel knives. Over time, the steel develops an elegant gray patina, which further improves corrosion resistance and gives the knife character.
