Features of Morakniv wood-carving knives

The secret of the Morakniv wood-carving knives can be found in the blades. These are made from laminated steel. A core of hard steel that retains its sharpness, flanked by two layers of softer steel for solidity. And all that at amazingly low prices! What more could you possibly ask for?

Morakniv wood-carving knife: blade

The term laminated steel tells you nothing about steel type, only about the way in which the blade was made. Laminated steel means the blade is made up of layers of different steel types, often a mix of carbon steel and stainless 12C27 steel. The main advantage of carbon steel is that it's very tough and razor-sharp. However, carbon steel is not completely corrosion resistant and will create a patina in time. That is why you should always store the knife only after it has been cleaned and dried. Its pointed shape enables you to carry out many different tasks. The advantage of stainless steel is that it's easier to sharpen and corrosion resistant. As a result, stainless-steel blades are easy to maintain.

When choosing a wood-carving knife, make sure to closely inspect the blade. Many of these knives are available with either a single-sided grind or a double-sided grind. Single-sided grinds are usually suitable for either left-handed use or right-handed use, not both.
