A double edged, wide-curved Mora knife for carving wood with precision and control.

We have tested the MoraKniv 163 double-edged hook knife and quickly see that it suits woodcarvers who want to hollow out bowls, spoons, or create shallow curves. The blade is made of Swedish stainless steel with a thickness of 2.0 mm and a blade length of 74 mm, shaped with a wide, open curve that lets you both push and pull the tool smoothly across wood without it biting. The handle is made from linseed oil-impregnated birch, giving a secure and natural grip.

Advantages: handles wide curves, offers strong control with both push and pull carving. Limitations: broad curves make it less precise for very fine details, sharpening requires some skill.

I used it for carving wooden spoons and small bowls the blade followed the wood’s grain easily, and the wide handle gave solid power though I had to pause at times to adjust grip and edge.

I know how frustrating it is to carve out bowls or spoons with the wrong shaped knife. The MoraKniv 163 double-edged design allows for both push and pull carving, with its dual edges and open curve. The Swedish stainless steel (SGM®) provides good stiffness and corrosion resistance, and at 2.0 mm thick it balances strength with a fine cutting action.

The blade is 74 mm long with a generous curve radius that works well for shallow hollows, moving smoothly across surfaces without chatter. The handle in linseed-treated birch is solid and easy to adjust with light sanding if you want a more textured grip. At 70 g with sheath, the knife feels light for detail work but still strong enough for demanding carving.

Care is simple: wipe the blade after use and apply a touch of oil if wood is damp. The leather sheath protects the edges — always store it in place. Sharpening a curved blade requires special round files or ceramic rods shaped for hook knives.

For anyone wanting a reliable hook knife for spoon or bowl carving, the MoraKniv 163 remains a top choice. Many experienced woodworkers use it because it combines function, durability, and fair price.
