The Morakniv Wood Carving 106 C is a classic whittling knife designed for precision, control, and dependable performance in the hands of both beginning woodworkers and experienced carving enthusiasts. Made in Mora, Sweden, this traditional carving tool combines generations of Swedish knife-making craftsmanship with practical materials and a thoughtfully balanced design. Whether you're shaping small wooden figures, refining intricate details, or working on larger carving projects, the Wood Carving 106 C delivers the control and cutting ability needed to bring your ideas to life.
At the center of this knife is an 85 mm (3.3-inch) blade crafted from German C100S carbon steel manufactured by C.D. Wälzholz GmbH. Heat-treated to a hardness of 58.5 HRC, the steel offers excellent edge retention while remaining easy to resharpen when needed. Its long, narrow, and pointed profile provides the precision required for detailed carving, allowing you to make controlled cuts and reach tight areas with confidence. The 2.5 mm blade thickness adds stability without sacrificing the maneuverability needed for delicate woodworking tasks.
The blade features a Scandi Zero grind with a total grind angle of 26 to 28 degrees. This traditional edge geometry supports controlled cuts and makes the knife well suited for shaping, trimming, and refining wood. A polished blade surface provides basic protection against corrosion, while the laser-engraved logo adds a distinctive finishing touch. Like other carbon steel tools, this blade requires proper care to maintain its condition. Wipe it clean and dry after each use, and apply a light coat of oil to help prevent rust, especially when storing the knife for extended periods.
The natural birch handle offers a comfortable and dependable grip during extended carving sessions. Crafted from Scandinavian birch with an oiled finish, its barrel-shaped profile sits naturally in the hand and provides the control needed for precise movements. A full rat-tail tang extends through the handle, contributing to the knife's strength and stability during more demanding cuts. The stiff construction further supports consistent handling as you work through different carving techniques.
For convenient storage and protection, Morakniv includes a black polypropylene sheath with a double-sided design suitable for different carry orientations. This practical addition helps protect the blade between projects and makes the knife easier to transport to your workshop or outdoor carving spot.
Measuring 7.6 inches overall and weighing just 2.61 ounces, the Wood Carving 106 C is lightweight enough for comfortable handling while offering the precision and durability serious carving projects demand. Assembled and heat-treated in Sweden, it reflects Morakniv's long-standing commitment to quality craftsmanship and functional design.
