These knives have handles that are painted blue with linseed oil paint, and there are stars cut out of the surface of the paint. All knives have 5 stars on the handles, places with the idea that you should always be able to see at least two. The knives have been re-ground to give them a hollow bevel, which makes them easier to hone once you’re ready for a touch up. They come with a handmade birch bark sheath, also made by me.
This is the knife I use for most of my carving and a real classic in the craft community. The Morakniv 120 has a rather short blade which makes it easy to control when carving tiny things. If you are only going to get one carving knife and want to make a heddle I’d recommend this one!
This version of the Morakniv is made in Sweden out of laminate steel and it is very, very sharp. If you are a newbie at carving I advice you to be careful and take your time to explore the possibilities of the knife by just chipping away at a piece of scrap wood before you start on a “real“ project.
