Swedish Knife Grip Sessions: Hook knives. Morakniv ambassador Jögge Sundqvist or surolle as he’s known, shows the different knife grips and techniques necessary for safe carving and wood working.
Recently bought my first set of morakniv knives. I've started some spoon carving and its so nice to know this is a credible source. Thank you so much for making these.
I just bought a set of new Mora carving knives (and an ax for my daughter), log onto youtube and the first recommended video is this one. You gotta love those "coincidences". 😄 But I'm not too mad about it, since your videos are really interesting and helpful.
Enjoyed the entire sequence of lessons. Thank you. The detail was so helpful and breaking it into small chunks make rewatching a specific skill easier.
Was looking forward to this video on spoon knives. It's a tricky knife to get to know and I've cut myself once already (which is of course the way you learn with knives and axes), so it was good to see this video and get some tips! Thank you!
I love these, thank you so much. It's nice to have a video of an experienced carver using the poor mans hook knife. Someday I'll be able to afford the $100 hook knife, but it's great to see someone effectively using the Mora and demonstrating it's usefulness. Surolle mentions that the blade has been refined and regrinded. Are there any plans to show us how he did that? I would be very fascinated to see how he modifies his blades for more efficient work.
You making it look easy and safe.Thanks also a little safty notes .Think I learn some .As a blacksmith I'll build some spoon knives . Yes don't cut towards any fingers Thanks
What is that wood, and for how long has it been seasoned? It's making such a delicious crunching sound that it's almost impossible to pick up a piece of wood and start carving! Also the shape of that spoon, with it's beautifully curved handle is really wonderful.
He mentions that it is alder and that it is fresh in the previous video. As he mentions at the end it has to be left to dry out before carving it to final shape.
I'm not convinced by the sticking plaster offering any sort of protection. Otherwise these videos have been great and really useful to me as a beginner spoon carver.
It is actually very good protection, it is not a knife or sword that will cut through your fingers in a flash. the band-aid will catch the knife and stop it.
A bent gouge can do many of the things a hook knife can. But you still run the risk of gouging yourself. A wood vice to hold your project can help to keep your hands out of the way, but limits your woodcarving to your shop area. Hope you stick with it. And scars are like tattoos with better stories.
Er führt das Messer nie frei sondern immer kontrolliert. Das Ausmaß an möglicher Bewegung des Messers ist limitiert und schliesst so größere Verletzungen aus.
