A Dalecarlian horse in a box, literally. With an obvious combination of two of our most famous Swedish symbols, a Morakniv knife, and a Dalecarlian horse, you can create your own designs and new traditions.
The carving kit includes pine Dalecarlian horse woodcarving blank and the characteristic Morakniv Woodcarving Knife 120 (C), which with its barrel-shaped oiled handle of Scandinavian FSC® certified birch wood and a short, tapered blade of carbon steel makes the carving experience delightful and lots of fun. The carving kit is our best piece of advice when you need a perfect Christmas gift, a gift for the person who already has everything, or for someone who wants to learn to carve. The characteristic woodcarving knives are highly regarded around the world and are well known for their excellent sharpness and high quality, not least because they are used by skilled craftsmen in Nusnäs, where one of Sweden’s most famous national symbols, the Dala horse, is produced. Carbon steel rusts, so wipe and oil the blade after use. Carbon steel rusts, so wipe and oil the blade after use.
David McLeay –
I own 3 Moraknivs and love them! However, this seems to be more of a starter kit and I think a few additional items should be included. 1. Directions in knife handling. 2. Basic cuts and last but not least; a strop. Maybe a little stropping compound would be nice. I realize that it would increase the price somewhat but when someone is new to carving it’s best to start them off with the basic knowledge and tools they will need.
