Comparing and Using the Mora Hook Knifes 164 163 162

I think when it comes to choosing a hook knife many people over think all their options. If you are just getting into spoon carving I would recommend getting the Mora 164 or 162. If you are just starting - the 164. Anything cheaper than a Mora hook is probably not worth the money your saving, and there's no need to buy anything more expensive than a Mora if you are just beginning.
I hope this video shows you some uses and helps you choose for yourself!

Good to see you’ve got all your fingers. Every knife has it’s purpose. I’ve been carving apple wood branches into spoons over the last two weeks,and I’m wearing bandages...

[@BradAllenWoodworkingCo]

I have used my fair share of bandages, a little practice goes a long way- learning how to carve and learning how to carve safely are important!

Watching Jögge Sundqvist's grip sessions really made me think about how I was holding my hands safely while carving. I didn't think it would make so much of an impact but he really points out WHY you wouldn't want to hold the knife certain ways.

Well after watching the video I can confirm you would be a good 162 salesman

[@BradAllenWoodworkingCo]

Haha! What can I say! I believe in the mora 162! And I think it gets way too much criticism from people!

[@ralphdavidson2932]

I also taped my duel sided moras they are sharpened a little to far up towards the tang for me

[@BradAllenWoodworkingCo]

Yes! It’s a great way to make them more comfortable!

[@22busy43]

Seems like this 163 would be good at the finishing cuts after it dries. I have the 164, but I think you sold me on the 162.

[@BradAllenWoodworkingCo]

Hey Wade! Definitely agree! When I try to make spoon bowls super smooth I go straight to the 163- but definitely not a knife I go to for removing lots of material.
