Review: Excellent carving knife - This knife is an excellent all-around carving knife, and should be a part of any artists or wood carvers tool set. Unlike most knives, all Mora knives arrive carving sharp right out of the box. That said, you WILL need to learn to sharpen it eventually. If you give it a few passes on a strop each time you put it away, you could go a long time before needing to sharpen ( the inside of a cardboard cereal or cracker box makes a great strop). The knife is Swedish, not Swiss as some seem to think, and the laminated steel holds a very keen edge. The blade has a flat "Scandi-grind", meaning there is no micro-bevel at the knife's edge, which makes for a very sharp blade that is easy to maintain. The one thing I find lacking is the sheath, which, incidentally, is the same plastic sheath Mora uses for all of their classic, red-handled knives, which occupy the same niche that Stanley Box-Cutters occupy here in the States: It's a construction/tradesman's knife. As such, It's a perfectly functional and utilitarian sheath that's friction-fit, vaguely ugly and cheap-looking, and it is what it is, I guess. This is one reason the knives are as inexpensive as they are. It'll keep your blade and fingers safe and allow you to transport the knife easily, but it's a one-size-fits-all Mora sheath that won't win any beauty contests. I love the handle, the natural wood grain provides just enough texture and the wide belly gives you something to grip. As for the lack of any kind of finger guard, well, I suppose we'd all be safer if we all wore helmets 24/7. The simple fact is, unless you are going to be making lots of stabbing motions with the knife, you shouldn't need a guard. My kitchen is FULL of sharp knives that have no guard. I imagine yours is as well. Do you cut yourself much? Me Neither. On a carving knife, a finger guard just gets in the way, limiting the kinds of cuts you can make. If you must, you can buy an incredibly overpriced "carving glove" which makes holding the wood or your knife difficult, or, just grab an old leather glove out of the garage and cut the thumb off of it and wear that on the thumb of your knife-holding hand, which is where the real danger is anyway. Mora is a great knife, and is often the first brand of knife that allows folks to see firsthand what a good knife can be; It's not flashy or expensive like the modern tacti-cool B.S. out there, and it's simple, understated design is deceptively lithe and comfortably "full" in the hand. It is also very lightweight. As for maintenance, this knife is sharper out-of-the-box than any new knife I've ever personally handled. In fact, it come out-of-the-box sharper than most any knife I have ever personally sharpened. However, even here there is room for improvement: Go buy a stick of either white or green porter-cable buffing compound for $2 bucks ( one stick should last you 20+ years), and make a strop out of the inside of an old cereal box ( YouTube this if you are unsure). Stropping is the key to maintaining a screaming-sharp, carving-ready edge, and this quick and easy process should only take 30 seconds or so after each carving session. When I started carving, I discovered that stropping, on a scale of 1-10, brought my blades sharpness from a 9 to an 11 If you strop your blade regularly, say, 10 passes on each side of the blade after every other carving session, you could potentially go months or years before needing to sharpen with a stone. Again, an excellent knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this knife good for whittling?**
A: This is a great knife for whittling. In my opinion it is the best of all of my knives. Some like the Mora 106 as it is a bigger blade. I think the 106 is ok for roughing out your piece but the 120 can handle that and it is small enough to handle most of the detail carving you will likely do. It comes razer sharp and it is easy to keep sharp if you use a leather strop with some compound. The blade is beveled on one side only which is precisely what you need for carving. A double beveled knife, and Mora makes a couple, is not as well suited. I did collect a few scars getting used to using it. Did I say it comes sharp? Buy it and enjoy your carving like never before.

**Q: Isn't that kind of a really long sheath for that knife?  The blade looks very short and the sheath rather long.**
A: Yes the sheath is too long for this blade: it is a generic sheath that Mora uses and many reviewers point to the sheath as the only weak point about the knife package.  It DOES retain even this short knife well enough to carry.  AS TO BLADE LENGTH: this is a favorite length and shape for Bushcrafters who are also carvers or who want to skin small game or to serve as a paring knife in camp:  check out SWEDWOODS on YouTube for a convincing demonstration of what this knife can do in the hands of an outdoorsman.

**Q: my husband is just starting whittling. is this knife enough by itself for most beggining projects**
A: Depends what he's trying to carve. This is a great place to start as a general carving knife. Forks, spoons, handles for various tools can be done with just this knife. Although, when carving spoons, having a curved knife makes the process a lot easier. You can get one for a similar price as this knife. I recommend not getting the double sided blade but one for a righty or lefty. If he is wanting to do more intricate carving like faces for example, he would eventually want more blade varieties. All that said, this knife is a cheap way of finding out if he likes the hobby enough to continue to invest in it. Do him an extra favor and buy him some carving gloves. They're an absolute imperative. Ask any carver how many times they have cut themselves when not taking the extra three seconds to put gloves on when working on a project.

**Q: What does the limited warranty cover? I was widdling a spoon out of walnut and the tip broke off. Just a small piece but still.**
A: This is the reply from Mora. I would say that would be covered under warranty, we would need photo of damaged knife. It's good to have the knife returned for replacement. Let me know how you want to proceed

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommend but use care
*by R***R on November 7, 2025*

This comes extremely sharp but not well seated in the sheath. Be very careful when opening, people have gotten hurt just doing that due to the knife just falling out of the sheath. It will fit snug so I am not sure why it isn’t packaged as such. I whittle and bought this knife for that purpose but to be honest it is so sharp it makes me nervous, I will not use without cut resistant gloves. Outside of my filleting knife, which this reminds me of, this is the sharpest knife I have ever owned.
