Durability

When it comes to durability this Morakniv Wood Carving Hook Knife 164 is not something we can question. Being made from stainless steel this knife is as strong and as durable as they come. It may not be oiled or laminated making it quite prone to oxidation but other than that, it is a great knife that will last one a while. 

The handle is made from oiled birch wood and has an ergonomic design. Though wood is not resistant to fire. This knife’s handle is quite strong and may be able to resist burning up for a while. Otherwise, besides the obvious, the knife is pretty much head-on and headstrong and will last for some time.
