Woodcarving Knife 120 (C)
Morakniv
The 120 is the 106's short sibling: a 62 mm short, pointed German carbon steel blade on the same oiled birch handle, sold with a sheath. Morakniv pitches it for fine carving and precise cuts, so it is the Mora to pick for figures, detail work and tighter control. **Highlights** - Short blade gives precise control - Same comfortable birch handle as the 106 - Easy to resharpen carbon steel **Watch-outs** - Too short for fast roughing of big blanks - Carbon steel needs drying after use 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.

C1 Small Sloyd Whittling Knife
BeaverCraft
BeaverCraft's small sloyd puts a hand-made, hardened high-carbon blade on a polished ash handle finished in linseed oil. The maker positions it for fine detail, delicate shaping, whittling and chip carving, and the shape works for both hands. **Highlights** - One of the lowest prices on this list - Small blade suits detail and chip work - 10-year steel warranty per maker **Watch-outs** - Maker cautions the 20 degree edge dulls faster in hardwood - Small size is slow for roughing Research only: Wild10 has not field tested this model.
