Morakniv Factory Carving Masterclass with Jögge Sundqvist

Jögge ‘surolle’ Sundqvist is a fourth-generation craftsman, brought up in the Swedish sloyd tradition. A woodworking and carving artist like no other and is renowned for his impressive sculptural installations, furniture, and beautifully carved decorative objects.
This rare video from late 2022 shows the special bond between the hands making a Morakniv and the hands using it. A shared philosophy that is carefully handed over from the knife manufacturer to the artisan. In this session, Jögge performs a masterclass shoulder to the skilled men and women at the wooden handle department. The very same skilled craftsmen and women that assemble the woodcarving knives he uses daily.
Lights, camera, action, and Jögge is already in the process of making a ladle out of a freshly cut birch log. In real-time. Because we know, just like you, that quality takes no shortcuts.

I was carving with a doubled edged Mora spoon knife the other day ... unfortunately I ended up carving some flesh out of my finger 😅 I'm quite impressed, really, with how easily the knife lifted off a piece of flesh so quickly that the blood kept the flesh on. Astonishing! Great knives! It was not until I took some tissue paper to stop the bleeding, which at first seemed very limited, that the small piece of flesh came off-it was truly only held on by the blood. The blood flowed freely then. I can't remember having had such a wound before that, though small, had just blood pouring out of it! Oh, and although the wound was deep and terrifying, it wasn't very big! It has closed up nicely in only three or four days (not all of it, of course, but the bleeding part of it). And I'm pretty sure that it's because the knife was so sharp! Keep your tools sharp, people! It makes the unavoidable cuts easier to treat! 😄😊 My Mora knives are among my absolute favourite tools! And it's the first time I had an accident with one ...

[@MoraknivOfficial]

Oh! We're happy that you're getting better day by day. Promise to stay safe, okay? Fingers-crossed-greetings from the knife factory in Mora, Sweden. ✨

[@thomashverring9484]

@@MoraknivOfficial Thanks :^) My finger's looking much better already! Today I'm going to make a lab bench to secure small work so I don't have to hold it in my hand. My accident was my own stupid fault for holding it when I hardly had room for my fingers. And because I wasn't using proper technique. I was holding the work piece close to be able to see, what I was doing. I should have had my knife arm stretched out to control in which way the knife could move if it jumped. I didn't, so it hit my other hand. If it can go wrong, it very well might! So don't take the chance. Be safe, use your head, use gloves or tape if necessary, have sharp tools! Thanks to all you at Mora for making some amazing tools :^)

[@Owieczkin]

​​@@thomashverring9484 just any gloves won't do. You need anti cut ones ;)

[@thomashverring9484]

@Owieczkin Yes, I know. I was also going to buy some anti-cut tape, but it was sold out. The lap bench I've made makes it much safer, though.

[@johnrhodes3350]

Many years ago I was on holiday where a young man cut a water Mellon on his lap. Suddenly he plunged the diving knife straight into the middle of his leg. There was a lot of blood on the floor. But luckily he just missed the femoral artery, so he survived.

Thanks for taking the ‘hobby’, ‘fun’, and ‘enjoyment’ out of it for me. I’m closing my shop up- saling my tools, and taking a job at Pizza Hut.

What specialty tools? They were all honest blue collar tools.

[@noname-wt3zw]
