Our take on the Morakniv Wood Carving 120 Knife

The Morakniv Wood Carving 120 is a traditional Scandinavian sloyd knife with a short 2.5 mm carbon steel blade and a linseed-oiled birch handle. It is built for spoon carving, whittling and detail work, and the thin blade flexes into curves where a thicker bushcraft knife cannot. At $28.47 at Morakniv as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, and 5 stores carry it new.

Pros
  • Short blade gives fine control for curves and hollows
  • Carbon steel takes a very keen edge and sharpens easily
  • Light at about 50 g, so long carving sessions are easy on the hand
  • Barrel-shaped oiled birch handle fills the palm comfortably
  • Comes with a polymer sheath for storage and transport
  • Low price for a knife made in Sweden
Cons
  • Carbon steel rusts and stains without oiling and drying after use
  • Not a chopping or batoning knife; the thin blade is for carving only
  • Oiled birch needs occasional re-oiling and can swell or dry with humidity
  • Blade arrives sharp but many owners refine the edge further
  • Sheath is basic plastic, not leather

Questions and answers

Is the Morakniv 120 good for beginners?
Yes. It is a standard first sloyd knife: short blade, comfortable handle and a low price. Beginners should learn safe cuts and keep the blade dry and oiled.
What is the difference between the 120 and the 122?
The 120 has a shorter blade for detail and spoon work; the 122 is longer for rougher shaping and larger blanks. Many carvers own both.
Will the carbon steel blade rust?
Yes, if left wet or dirty. Wipe it dry after use and apply a thin coat of oil; light staining is normal and harmless.
What comes in the box?
The knife and a polymer sheath. No sharpening stone or oil is included.
Can it carve hardwoods?
It handles green wood and softer hardwoods well. Very hard, dry woods dull the thin edge faster and are better suited to a heavier knife.
When is it cheapest?
The current $28.47 at Morakniv as of November 5, 2026 is at the low end of its recent range, so waiting is unlikely to save much.
Where is the Morakniv Wood Carving 120 Knife cheapest?
