Workshop / Woodshop Knife - The Sloyd Knife - Mora 106

Every shop needs a good woodworking knife. But not all knives are created equally. I outline why I think the Mora 106 is the perfect choice no matter what niche of the craft you prefer. At it's current price it's a true unicorn in that it's a top tier item at a bargain price.

These are great knives. They are based on the ancient pukko knife design from the nordic regions of northern Europe. The particular grind is called a scandi grind which is short for Scandinavian. Very strong and very sharp. Traditionally, you don't put a micro bevel on it. Instead you would sharpen it using the primary bevel angle all the way to the edge. Great knife. I really look forward to more in this series!

Mora sells it's perfect blades. I use one to build my own knife with cherry and walnut handle and it is most used knife in my shop.

[@MrC_5150]

Learning lots here on your channel. Keep the knowledge coming.

[@reloadNshoot]

I have purchased several Mora's as inexpensive hunting knives. Both carbon and stainless. Never knew they were used a woodworking tools. Thanks again for your teachings. Look forward to Tuesday now.

[@loucinci3922]

I have always wanted to make one of these. Price is really affordable. Good ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidmajersky1969]

I have both of the and love them they are really sharp out of the box.

[@lmjohnsono]

Love Mora. My first was a bright orange camping/survival knife built like an absolute tank, 20 bucks. After having it a few years I had a friend make me a custom belt sheath for it. Love that knife.

[@stufarnham]

I literally just got one of these and I love it. The project I got it for is making handles for an inexpensive set of chisels. The chisels are quite good after a little tune up, but the handles are crap. I’m using the Mora to finish the fine curved details. Sweet knife!

[@zen9209]

i bought one after you said you like it in an older video. i just used it for cleaning up the bottom of turnings but i like the idea for router corners i will use it for that now.

[@user-qg6fy4yp8t]

Good video!! I have got Moraknif that has plastic handle ( using it woodworking and hiking) very sharp it's on my apron all the time and I am using it for carving and correcting small mistakes. Bought one with wood handle and a guard as a present to the kid of my friend.

[@jgclark45]

love Morakniv! A quality knife at an affordable price. I own several, some for carving and some hunting/fishing.

[@thomashverring9484]

I bought a Mora 106 a couple of months ago. I think it was Rex Krueger who had recommended it. I used if for shaping a handle for a mini ryoba and and rule stop. It's amazing to work with!

[@SteifWood]

Since my grand dad gave me a Mora (that maybe started my interest in woodworking) a Basic (now a model 546) has been permanently fixed to my belt. My most used and useful tool as I on average flip it out probably 5 times every day.

[@NorthGeorgiaSurvival]

Mora uses what they call a Scandi-grind or Scandinavian grind, in case anyone is shopping for other brands with the same features. Great vid! Thanks!

[@frankhill9527]

Good information 👍

[@stuartosborne6263]

Excellent video as always Shawn, Mora knives are very good and incredible value. I was always told you should never give a knife, always take payment. I have sold a lot of knives for a penny. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

[@jaayjones5937]

Mom said never give a knife,always sell it, otherwise it cuts the friendship.

[@steveconlon8936]

Morakniv also has a good set of instructional videos on how to safely execute hand carving with these knives; I found those exceptionally helpful!

[@ugaladh]

I hope you keep doing "Tool Tuesday"

[@danieltomasjr.5871]

I hope u go more into the morakniv knives.

[@buddythompson5284]

Thanks. Great tool. Can you provide a video on how to sharpen this (and other shop knives)? I can sharpen single-bevel blades like chisels and plane blades but for the life of me I can't sharpen knives.

[@dpmeyer4867]

thanks

[@awldune]

I love mine

[@jmrivera83]

Great video as usual! I just got three of these in the mail today. Going to put some oil on the handles and can't wait to put them to good use. Mora knives are great for the money. Keep up the good work!

[@skogsmats]

Moraknifes celebrate 130 years, since 1891.

[@emm_arr]

6:32 That was my big question - it CAN be used as a marking knife. Good video - as always. Thank you.

[@RatedRWoodturning]

I got one after ur first video on them. But I still struggle to sharpen it and dont know why. No problems with chisels, plane irons, or even normal pocket knives but the sloyd knife gets me for some odd reason. Still a great knife tho

[@brianhunwick996]

Jason A. Lonon makes sloyd knives and curved blade versions for carving in this country (he’s a blacksmith),

[@johnoerter2883]

How do you sharpen?

[@pettere8429]

As a swede I cringe a bit at the way the swedish word slöjd is Anglicised. The handle probably is birch which is much more common around Mora (it is a small town in Sweden), the range of the beech does not extend that far north.

[@ninoding]

If Mora isn’t available to you, go for a beavercraft. But make sure to split the handle, throw it away and make a new one.

[@iakkatz128]

Its the only "good" carving knife I own.

[@MatthewHarrold]

My wife gave me one of these a few years ago, visually identical to the one you show. Mine came with a few horrible chips in the middle third of the blade. I can achieve a beautiful whittle with the 1/3 tip or with the back third, but in the middle ... it sucks. I'm disappointed. I hope it was a manufacturing defect. The depth of the chips mean it is a write off for a consistent blade. $0.02

[@wortheffort]

I’d of returned it for replacement.

[@MatthewHarrold]

@@wortheffort I was being polite and pretended it wasn't damaged (for the wife).

[@wortheffort]

@@MatthewHarrold I’d grind it back then. Kinda need a continuous edge.

[@levilynch9126]

Hey hey first

[@JohanLarsby]

As a Swede, this makes me proud. Also, you could check out morakniv.se/en/usagearea/woodcarving/ to get the knives from the source :)
