Woodcarving Knife 106 (C)
Morakniv
The classic Swedish sloyd knife: an 85 mm narrow, pointed German carbon steel blade on a barrel-shaped oiled birch handle with a full rat-tail tang, sold with a sheath. Long enough for roughing out spoons and figures and pointed enough for detail, it is the most versatile single knife here. **Highlights** - Long, pointed blade handles roughing and detail - Carbon steel sharpens fast on a strop - Birch handle is comfortable for long sessions **Watch-outs** - Carbon steel rusts if put away wet - Long blade is less nimble for tiny detail than a short knife Research only: Wild10 has not field tested this model. Specs and prices come from the maker or retailer page linked below, checked Nov 2026; outside test results are credited to the outlet that ran them.

C4 Sloyd Carving Knife, Long Blade
BeaverCraft
BeaverCraft's long sloyd knife pairs a high-carbon steel blade with an oak handle finished in linseed oil, and the maker says the ambidextrous shape suits right- and left-handed carvers. It is sharpened to a 20 degree bevel and aimed at roughing out and heavier stock removal, making it the best-value long sloyd for a camp kit. **Highlights** - Low price for a hand-finished sloyd - 10-year steel warranty per maker - Ambidextrous handle **Watch-outs** - Maker advises the 20 degree edge is for softwood and dulls faster in hardwood - No sheath listed in the base price Research only: Wild10 has not field tested this model.
