“There are probably few people who understand how difficult it is to get a really good carving knife, which is well balanced in terms of hardness, toughness, and flexibility in relation to the angles of the cutting edge. Morakniv is the best amongst all its competitors. I use them daily and even make the handles myself. I have other handmade knives, but it’s the Morakniv I pick up first,” says Jögge.
