Overview
The Morakniv M-120-1600 is a knife with an alloy steel blade and a wood handle, listed at 9 inches long and 0.15 pounds, consistent with the brand's simple fixed-blade designs.
Morakniv built its reputation on straightforward, wood-handled fixed blades rather than folding mechanisms, and the alloy steel and wood combination here fits that pattern. At 0.15 pounds it is light enough to carry without adding noticeable weight to a pack or belt.

Who it's for
Fits outdoor tasks like carving, food prep at camp, or general utility cutting where a simple fixed blade is preferred over a folder. Less suited to anyone who wants a locking folding knife or a stainless blade for wet environments.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Light at 0.15 pounds
- Wood handle for a traditional grip
- 9 inch overall length suits general cutting
- Alloy steel needs rust prevention care
- No sheath or lock details listed
Performance notes
Alloy steel blades like this one typically need more upkeep against corrosion than stainless, since the wood handle and steel combination favors traditional maintenance over low-fuss ownership. At 9 inches overall and 0.15 pounds, it stays light enough for extended carry without becoming a burden.
