Its tight curve is designed for carving scoops, spoon bowls and other deeper hollow forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"416\" data-start=\"241\"\u003eThe blade is sharpened on both edges, allowing it to be used for both push and pull cuts. Being double-edged, the same knife can be used by both right and left-handed carvers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"664\" data-start=\"418\"\u003eThe blade has been designed to run smoothly over the inside of a spoon or bowl without digging in or catching. Its tighter curve makes the 162 particularly useful when you need to carve more deeply than you can with the wider, shallower Mora 163.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"818\" data-start=\"666\"\u003eThe handle is made from linseed-oiled Scandinavian birch and has Mora’s signature barrel shape.
