I have used many carving knives over the years; the Morakniv 120 is one that strikes a good balance between control and utility. The 62 mm (≈ 6.2 cm) blade lets you make detailed cuts without the knife feeling bulky in hand. The barrel-shaped birch handle offers a comfortable grip for extended carving. Because this set includes a rough Dala horse figure, you can begin practicing right away rather than needing to source your own wood blank.
The blade steel, when carbon or laminated carbon, holds a keen edge and sharpens well. It does require regular maintenance: wiping dry after use, oiling, and avoiding prolonged moisture. The plastic sheath protects the edge during storage, but I prefer storing knives in leather or padded sleeves to avoid any abrasion.
The Dalar horse piece lets you explore both relief cutting and shaping in three dimensions. Imaginative carving, sanding, and later painting will bring character to your piece. Using the 120, you can work the curves and details with precision. If you carve outdoors or in damp places, be extra diligent with care.
If you enjoy carving as a hobby or want to make meaningful gifts, this kit gives everything you need—supplies are limited so ordering it while it’s in stock is wise.
