Safety Warning UK_18_knife Review: Great - 10/10, very sharp and exactly what I needed. Review: Great hook knife - I always thought that the 162 was double edged, I believe it was originally advertised as double edged. But on the package it had conflicting references, half said 164 and the other side 162 . It's fine I'll make good use of it . But I was expecting a double edged. I'll purchase that one elsewhere. ## Features - Item Package Quantity: 1 - Country of origin:- Sweden - Package Dimensions : 13.0L x 3.0W x 3.0H (centimeters) - Package Weight: 55.0 grams ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07RN2NRHM | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 364,804 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 35 in Carving Knives | | Blade Edge | Compound Bevel | | Blade Length | 5.5 Centimetres | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Hook | | Blade Type | Hook | | Brand | Morakniv | | Brand Name | Morakniv | | Colour | Handle: natural birch | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 173 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07391846022770 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Birch | | Included Components | None. | | Included components | None. | | Item Length | 162 Millimetres | | Item Shape | Curved | | Item Type Name | Knife | | Manufacturer | Morakniv | | Model Name | Carving Hook 162 | | Model Number | 13446 | | Model name | Carving Hook 162 | | Part Number | YKM12816 | | Power Source | AC | | Recommended Uses For Product | Sculpture | | Recommended uses for product | Sculpture | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | No Name | | Size | 6 cm | | Special Features | Replaceable Blades | | Special feature | Replaceable Blades | | Style | Scandinavian | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Blade material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Morakniv - **Colour:** Handle: natural birch - **Handle material:** Birch - **Included components:** None. - **Model name:** Carving Hook 162 - **Recommended uses for product:** Sculpture - **Special feature:** Replaceable Blades - **Style:** Scandinavian ## Images ![Carving Hook 162 Mixed Fixed Knife, Handle: Natural Birch, Blade: 52 mm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613QO-Cu3gL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: My hook knives have been great; Can I get the sheathes for them, they weren't available when I bought mine?** A: Mine came with one, I'm sure if you contact them you could get one **Q: Is this the same as the 163, except no pouch?** A: No. 163 and 164 are different, from the pix **Q: Are special sharpening stones or rods needed to sharpen the curved edges of these knives? People warn these are tricky to sharpen but offer no advice.** A: This particular Mora hook blade should come sharp out of the package. To keep it sharp, and get it even sharper, I recommend using a curved leather strop (Beavercraft Hook Knife Strop, about $30 bucks) and green or white sharpening compound. Basically, I use my strop any time I feel the blade is not cutting at its sharpest. I can detect that the cuts are requiring more pressure, so I run the blade on the strop several passes on both sides as needed, testing the cutting ability of the blade each time, and repeating the stropping if necessary. This seems to keep the blade optimal throughout the project. A more budget-friendly option is to use a dowel (use a 5/8" diameter dowel) with a fine grit wet-dry sandpaper glued to it. It might behoove you to have a variety of grits from 600 up to 1000 with a polishing compound rubbed onto the paper, but the heavier grits would be reserved for more intensive sharpening. There are articles and videos online detailing different methods of this. Just don't use the rougher grits if your blade only needs a touch up. Once your blade is sharp, you only need to strop it as needed or use a very fine grit to maintain its edge. In fact, I don't recommend sharpening stones or lower grits unless your blade shows signs of minor nicks or damage that needs smoothing out. To detect nicks or significant dull areas, look at the blade dead-on with a bright light behind you (that is shining on the blade edge) and look for small bright spots/reclective areas on the blade edge. If you have a magnifying glass or strong magnification reading glasses, it is a breeze to examine the edges of any of your blades or chisels. Tiny bright areas along the blade are where it has been nicked or flattened and needs to be brought back to a fine edge. A fine edge shouldn't show brighter and darker areas, but should be uniform in appearance. You shouldn't see light reflecting from the blade edge. There are also cylindrical diamond knife sharpeners that would work if the blade is dull and needs more than a strop and compound touch-up. Hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great *by A***E on 12 April 2026* 10/10, very sharp and exactly what I needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great hook knife *by R***N on 23 January 2026* I always thought that the 162 was double edged, I believe it was originally advertised as double edged. But on the package it had conflicting references, half said 164 and the other side 162 . It's fine I'll make good use of it . But I was expecting a double edged.

The handle is simple and easy to hold in different grips, it can be a bit rough at first but with some use or a coat of wax it’s extremely comfortable. The blade is thin and bevelled at a good angle, it cuts well and only needed one strop to carve out a kuksa. Great knife and definitely worth it for any carving you’re doing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Morakniv Wood Carving Double-Edge Hook Knife - Morakniv Wood Carving Knife 120 - Morakniv Wood Carving Knife 106 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/129620836-carving-hook-162-mixed-fixed-knife-handle-natural-birch-blade](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/129620836-carving-hook-162-mixed-fixed-knife-handle-natural-birch-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
