What this tool adds
What this tool adds to your bench
The Morakniv 164 uses a tight curved blade for working the concave inside of spoons, cups and bowls. The selected offer has a 55 mm blade and a right-handed cutting arrangement. Choose the curve and approach against the hollow you need to form, rather than using blade length as a maximum bowl-depth specification.
The selected listing identifies Swedish 12C27 stainless steel, a 2 mm blade thickness and an oiled Scandinavian birch handle. The barrel-shaped wooden handle is a different format from the cherry-handled Flexcut Sloyd knife. Stainless construction is another practical comparison with the high-carbon Flexcut hooks; it still benefits from proper cleaning and drying.
Morakniv’s right-handed 164 has a left-ground cutting edge, intended for a right-handed user carving toward the body. The name of the ground side and the user’s hand therefore do not match word for word. Check that arrangement against your technique before ordering a handed hook knife.
This selected 13443 offer is one fixed-blade knife. The current maker page sells a different package reference, 13385, with leather protection; that accessory is not confirmed for this offer. Compare the KN52 for its through-handle tang and deep hook, or the compact KN26 for a shorter curved cutting form.
Choose for your actual work
- Compare cutting direction and ground side before choosing the handed version.

Questions before you choose
Why is a right-handed knife described as left-ground?
The ground side identifies the edge orientation. Morakniv describes this arrangement for a right-handed user carving toward the body.
Should I expect the leather protection shown with the current maker offer?
It is confirmed for maker reference 13385, but not for this selected 13443 offer. Check the chosen offer’s contents before relying on it for storage.
Does stainless steel mean I can put it away wet?
No. Morakniv recommends cleaning with warm water and mild soap, then drying thoroughly to prevent stains or corrosion.
