Morakniv 106 Wood Carving Knife - High Carbon Steel Blade with Wooden Handle - Perfect for Whittling, Crafting & Outdoor Bushcraft Activities

I own a ton of knives. But I'd never considered how great the bevel on this would be for woodworking until it was recommended to me. It's a totally different tool.I'm sure there are fancier ones and cheaper ones. I wouldn't bother with either. Just buy this. If you're even looking at this, you'll love it.The blade is great out of the box and holds an edge well. It is so easy to hone freehand because of the huge bevel. I mostly just touch it up after longer sessions with a fine grit or just a strop. I only have had to really sharpen once because of a very abusive mistake against concrete.It is really comfortable in the hand. Like "you don't think about the tool while you use it" comfortable. Just an instant extension of the body.It complements chisels well for finer work and leaves a perfect tool mark free finish. I played with carving green wood and that was a blast. I imagine if you're into whittling or spoons it would be perfect. I've mostly used it on dry hard and soft woods for detail, tight curves, touching up chamfers, etc. It works well with and across the grain.The only downside is that the sheath is plastic. I'll probably replace that at some point, but it works fine and it's not like that was some kind of surprise. The sheath is still well made for what it is. I've never put it on my belt, though. I can't dock it for that. But a nicer sheath will be nice, because I'd like to have it near me whenever I'm working.
