This Morakniv wood-splitting tool brings together tradition and practicality. The brand uses its well-known craftsmanship to deliver a fixed-blade knife with a 114 mm stainless steel blade and a total length of approximately 366 mm; weight is about 152-154 g. The dual birch handles one at each end of the blade give excellent leverage for splitting kindling or performing draw-knife style shaping. I appreciate the ease with which it converts a larger log into manageable sticks, or enables a craftsperson to rough-out a bowl blank.
The stainless steel (nominally 12C27) holds an edge well and resists corrosion; likewise the birch isn’t plastic, it ages gracefully but should be treated with oil from time to time. Whether you’re prepping wood next to the firepit or shaping wood in a workshop, this knife offers efficient form and function. Because the handles are relatively lightweight, the tool remains agile.
Don’t assume it’s a substitute for a robust splitting axe – it excels at medium tasks rather than heavy-timber splitting. For longevity: store dry, keep the sheath blade-side down, hone the edge before each season. If you’re looking to add one to your kit while the model is available, act now before stock disappears this kind of craft tool often sells out quickly.
