Morakniv Mora 105 is a fixed-blade craft knife with a carbon-steel blade and a slip-resistant handle, designed for woodworking, carving, bushcraft and general outdoor tasks. The compact shape and robust construction make it suitable as an everyday tool for hobbyists and professionals who require a durable, easy-to-maintain cutting instrument. The blade geometry provides reliable edge retention and straightforward re-sharpening when needed.

Advantages

The carbon-steel blade delivers hard, sharp cutting performance and can be honed to a fine edge with basic sharpening tools. The slip-resistant handle improves grip in wet or cold conditions and helps maintain precise control during detailed work. Simple full-tang or fixed-blade construction reduces moving parts and maintenance needs, while the compact profile makes the knife easy to carry and store.

Suitable for

• Woodworking and whittling
• Carving small to medium projects
• Bushcraft and general outdoor tasks
• Everyday utility tasks around the workshop or campsite

When it may not be suitable

Carbon-steel blades are prone to surface oxidation if exposed to moisture and not dried or oiled, so this knife may not be ideal for long-term wet marine use without regular maintenance. It is a fixed-blade craft knife intended for controlled cutting tasks and is not designed for heavy prying or applications that require a specialized blade geometry.

Key specifications

• Blade material: carbon steel
• Blade type: fixed straight blade with plain edge
• Handle: slip-resistant grip material
• Typical use: woodworking, carving, bushcraft, general outdoor tasks
• Maintenance: suitable for manual sharpening and oiling to prevent corrosion

How to use

Use the knife for controlled cutting and carving motions, keeping the blade angle consistent for clean cuts. Hold the slip-resistant handle firmly and position the workpiece to avoid forceful twists or prying that could damage the blade. After use, clean and dry the blade, then apply a light coat of oil to the carbon-steel surface to reduce the risk of rust. Sharpen with a suitable stone or strop following the original bevel angle for best results.

What to consider before purchase

• Carbon-steel requires routine drying and oiling to prevent rust.
• Intended for controlled cutting and carving, not for heavy prying.
• Check handle size and ergonomics to ensure comfortable grip for your hand size.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged edge life, store the knife dry, apply light oil to the blade after cleaning, and sharpen periodically with a whetstone or strop. Use the slip-resistant handle for secure grip in damp conditions and avoid exposing the blade to saltwater without thorough cleaning and protection.
