Morakniv 13968 Classic Wood Splitting Drawknife

What this tool adds

What this tool adds to your bench

Morakniv describes this Classic model for splitting wood into smaller sticks and for removing material as a drawknife. Its stiff blade is the useful contrast with the flexible Flexcut KN16. Choose the working behavior against the job rather than treating every two-handled knife as interchangeable.

The blade is nominally 4.5 inches long, reported as approximately 114–115 mm across the available specifications, and 2.5 mm thick. Those describe the blade itself. The complete tool spans both handles, and the exact overall length and net weight are not settled across the available data.

The selected listing identifies stainless steel and two red-stained birch handles. Morakniv specifies 12C27 stainless for model 13968. The two handles provide a different grip arrangement from a single-handled Sloyd knife; the small-wood splitting description does not establish a universal capacity for every log or stock size.

Choose it when a stiff blade and the maker’s splitting/drawknife role suit your work. Compare the KN16 for controlled flex around contours or a hook knife for concave spoon interiors. Morakniv lists plastic edge protection for this model; confirm the chosen package if the included cover is important to your storage plan.

Choose for your actual work

• Compare stiff cutting behavior with a flexible contour-following drawknife.
• Confirm complete-tool dimensions if storage length or carrying weight is a deciding factor.

Fit checks & limits

• Exact overall length and net weight are unsettled; confirm them when storage clearance or carrying weight matters.
• No maximum stock diameter, striking method or universal splitting capacity is established.
