Hook knife with 55 mm double-edged blade

The Hook Knife 162 has a 55 mm blade with a tight curve and double-edged blade, designed for carving scoops, bowls, and deeper hollows. The stainless steel holds its edge well and is easy to maintain. The knife features a full rat-tail tang for strength and stability, and a comfortable barrel-shaped Scandinavian birch handle.

Tight curve for deep hollows

The blade’s tight curve and double edge make it perfect for carving scoops or deep bowls. The blade is optimized to glide smoothly over the inside of a scoop or bowl without digging or catching. Since the blade is double-edged, you can carve with both push and pull cuts.

Comfortable birch handle

The barrel-shaped birch handle fits comfortably in the hand regardless of carving technique or grip, even during extended use. It comes with a sheath made from Swedish vegetable-tanned leather.

Swedish stainless steel with long-lasting sharpness

The 2 mm thick, 55 mm long blade is made from Swedish stainless steel (12C27) with over 80% recycled content and a hardness of 56.5 HRC. The stainless steel is durable, holds its edge for a long time, and requires minimal maintenance.

Made in Mora, Sweden

The knife is assembled and heat-treated at our factory in Mora, Sweden, with over 130 years of knife-making tradition

Today, our carving knives are trusted by users worldwide – a series that includes everything from classic whittling knives to hook knives and splitting knives. All are made in Mora, designed to feel like an extension of the hand and to bring wood to life.
