Customer Reviews
I also loved that it came with a sheath as this long blade easily cuts my tool roll! However the plastic sheath on this 106 and my 120 are both too loose, and the knives easily slip out. This has led to drops causing significant damage to both my carving moras, which is very frustrating given the quality and price of these tools.
It's a real shame the fit of the sheath doesn't match the quality and vulnerability of the blade.
Smaller hands like mine may eventually find the chub handle a bit tiring over long carving sessions, but hey, it's birch so could probably be carved down.
A recommendation from an accomplished, Danish bush crafter. He maintains it's his favorite wood knife and I must say I agree. You won't be dissapointed in this knife for the outlay.
