Question 1

Is this knife good for whittling?

Accepted Answer

This is a great knife for whittling. In my opinion it is the best of all of my knives. Some like the Mora 106 as it is a bigger blade. I think the 106 is ok for roughing out your piece but the 120 can handle that and it is small enough to handle most of the detail carving you will likely do. It comes razer sharp and it is easy to keep sharp if you use a leather strop with some compound. The blade is beveled on one side only which is precisely what you need for carving. A double beveled knife, and Mora makes a couple, is not as well suited. I did collect a few scars getting used to using it. Did I say it comes sharp? Buy it and enjoy your carving like never before.

Question 2

Isn't that kind of a really long sheath for that knife?  The blade looks very short and the sheath rather long.

Accepted Answer

Yes the sheath is too long for this blade: it is a generic sheath that Mora uses and many reviewers point to the sheath as the only weak point about the knife package.  It DOES retain even this short knife well enough to carry.  AS TO BLADE LENGTH: this is a favorite length and shape for Bushcrafters who are also carvers or who want to skin small game or to serve as a paring knife in camp:  check out SWEDWOODS on YouTube for a convincing demonstration of what this knife can do in the hands of an outdoorsman.

Question 3

my husband is just starting whittling. is this knife enough by itself for most beggining projects

Accepted Answer

Depends what he's trying to carve. This is a great place to start as a general carving knife. Forks, spoons, handles for various tools can be done with just this knife. Although, when carving spoons, having a curved knife makes the process a lot easier. You can get one for a similar price as this knife. I recommend not getting the double sided blade but one for a righty or lefty. If he is wanting to do more intricate carving like faces for example, he would eventually want more blade varieties. All that said, this knife is a cheap way of finding out if he likes the hobby enough to continue to invest in it. Do him an extra favor and buy him some carving gloves. They're an absolute imperative. Ask any carver how many times they have cut themselves when not taking the extra three seconds to put gloves on when working on a project.

Question 4

What does the limited warranty cover? I was widdling a spoon out of walnut and the tip broke off. Just a small piece but still.

Accepted Answer

This is the reply from Mora. I would say that would be covered under warranty, we would need photo of damaged knife. It's good to have the knife returned for replacement. Let me know how you want to proceed
