Morakniv - Woodcarving Hook Knife 164 – Precision Scandinavian Spoon-Carving Tool

Unlock the art of traditional spoon carving and hollow-form woodworking with the Morakniv 164. Renowned for its unique geometry, this hook knife features a smaller, tighter curve than other models in the Morakniv range, providing superior control when executing deep scoops, concave cuts, and intricate detailing in bowls or spoons. Crafted with a premium Scandinavian birch handle that offers an ergonomic, natural grip, the 164 is the quintessential tool for both novice carvers and experienced artisans looking to achieve a refined finish on their wooden projects.

Best For Spoon carvers, bowl turners, and woodworkers who require a specialized tool for tight-radius shaping and hollowing out projects with precision, comfort, and ease.

Key Features

• Tight-Radius Cutting Geometry: The signature "smaller curve" design is perfectly optimized for carving deep, smooth hollows in spoons and small vessels, allowing for a level of detail that larger, broader knives cannot achieve.

• Premium Stainless Steel Blade: Features a high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade that maintains a razor-sharp edge longer, even through repetitive carving tasks.

• Ergonomic Birch Wood Handle: The classic, barrel-shaped handle is crafted from sustainably sourced Scandinavian birch, providing a warm, tactile feel that is comfortable for long carving sessions.

• Customizable Configuration: Available in both Right-hand and Left-hand configurations to suit your dominant carving style, with optional leather sheath availability for safe storage and blade protection.

Pro Tip & Blade Maintenance: Because the Morakniv 164 features a specialized hook geometry, sharpening requires a slightly different approach than a straight knife. Use a tapered diamond hone or a slip stone to maintain the edge along the inside curve—never sharpen the edge from the outside of the curve, as this will alter the tool's cutting angle and ruin the profile. Always store your hook knife in the optional leather sheath or a protective roll to ensure the edge remains pristine and to protect your fingers when reaching into your tool kit. A light rub of boiled linseed oil on the birch handle once or twice a year will keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking!

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
