Lacewood Knife Blank

moras are great knives for the money but they are strangely ruff on the spine. definitely needs a file put to it for sparking rods!

great fit for mora basic!

as described. fits knife they suggested.

I recently started carving spoons. My first dedicated carving tools were Elemental knives. After a few spoons I decided to check out the Mora 106 as an upgrade. I ordered it from Ragweed Forge and it arrived promptly. The blade is sharp and sturdy. The handle is nice, clear birch. There is no varnish on the handle so it feels good in hand and had good grip traction. I have worked on two spoons with this knife so far. It seems to hold an edge well. The blade is sturdier than the knife I have been using. I strope at the end of each session but I'm not sure I've needed to yet. It seems to hold an edge well. The plastic sheath Mora provides is functional but not pretty. I am happy with my purchase and plan to pick up a Mora hook knife one of these days.

It's a real gem. It's very sturdy, razor sharp out of the box, perhaps a little shorter than I'd consider a combat blade, but from a utility perspective, this is an outstanding blade, and quite a bit more sturdy than I was expecting based on my other Finnish knives. It will straddle both the hunting and bushcraft worlds very well!

To get it, i relied on the guys at RF who sent it to me from the other side of the planet. unbeatable 511 with that exclusive touch of this store. thanks

Nice tight grain, dense, one of my favorites.

I really like the width of this blade! Its about the right size for a nice skinning knife. As always, it's razor sharp. I used Leopardwood and Lacewood for the handle and a German silver bolster.

Great knife with great color scheme for outdoor work.

Exactly as described, shipped quickly.

Redbeard's recommendation to try Thuya for my 2025 production promises some knockout handles. Thanks Redbeard!

This blade is the best. Laminated steel sharpens easy and holds a edge for a long time ⌛️. It was fun carving the handel to shape. I carved it out of walnut. The price that Ragweed Forge has on it is grate. Fast shipping and the packaging 📦 is grate.

I own 2 of the helle Bleja h3ls they the sharpest knives I have ever owned. I gave one to my daughter she now cleans her own squirrels with ease. I ordered another a while back and received it recently what beautiful curly maple scales. It goes to my grandson . If you are a squirrel 🐿️ hunter you definitely need one of these knives. They also serve well in field dressing deer.

I bought my copy of this knife from Ragnar at Pennsic a very long time ago, it has seen plenty of use and is still functionally as good as new (and with the sheath, handle and blade showing honest wear from use, even better IMO).

The rough spine mentioned in another review was a feature on my knife as well, but a few minutes with a coarse sharpening stone fixed that for the rest of it's life (so far). The blade also came with a slight secondary bevel, which took years of sharpening to completely eliminate, but now it's a true Scandi grind, with the exception of the tip which I keep in an appleseed profile for strength.

With the prices being asked for machine made "stuff" these days, I think the $99 price tag of the "Classic Utility" is still quite reasonable, since you're getting a tool that will likely last your entire lifetime if cared for. This knife is everything it needs to be as a cutting tool and ads nothing that isn't required.

I'm very glad to see it's still being produced, though I miss the hand applied electro-pencil "company logo" of the older production knives.

This blank was exactly what I wanted. Good quality. Thank you
