Published: 2 weeks ago
Welcome to the Morakniv Carving School! In this video, our colleague Mikael shows you one of the classic and basic carving grips – perfect for improving your control and technique when carving.
Today’s technique: Pull Cut Toward Body
In this grip, you lock your wrist and support the wood against your chest while pulling the knife toward yourself. By locking your wrist, you reduce the risk of the knife slipping and gain better control over the cut. This is a safe and stable technique for removing material in a controlled way, and it works well for both shaping and detail work.
