CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precision carving and trusted by craftspeople around the world, the Morakniv Woodcarving Hook Knife is a specialized tool made to shape, hollow, and detail wood with control and efficiency. With a left-ground blade curvature, this knife is purpose-built for pull cuts, making it ideal for carving spoons, bowls, and other concave shapes where accuracy is key.
At the core of this tool is a 2.12-inch stainless steel hook blade, heat-treated for edge retention and corrosion resistance. The hook shape allows for deep, controlled cuts in tight curves, while the left-ground edge gives left-handed carvers—or right-handed users pulling with their left hand—exceptional control over shaping motions. Whether you're working green wood or seasoned hardwoods, this blade delivers clean, precise results every time.
The barrel-shaped handle is crafted from natural birch wood, offering a warm, comfortable grip that molds to your hand over time. It’s shaped for hours of use without fatigue, and its simple, traditional form makes it easy to maneuver from multiple angles—critical when working with complex curves or fine details. Lightweight at just 2.4 ounces and measuring 6.37 inches overall, it offers a nimble, balanced feel in hand.
To protect both the edge and the user, the knife comes with a fitted leather sheath equipped with a snap closure. This sheath not only keeps the blade secure when not in use, but also makes it easy to carry and store without risking nicks, cuts, or damage to your gear. It’s a practical finishing touch to a tool that’s built for hard use and long life.
Whether you’re a seasoned woodworker or just beginning your journey into hand-carving, the Morakniv Hook Knife stands as a reliable companion, designed to meet the demands of traditional craft with modern steel and classic form. Order it today from SMKW!
