Mora Scout 39 (S) – Whittling Knife / Scout Knife for Children

Whittling knife for children from Mora Knife - Scout 39 (S)

Mora Scout 39 (S) is a classic whittling knife for children who want to learn to work with wood and use a knife on trips. It is made by Mora Knife in Sweden and is aimed at children who are ready to use a pointed knife under supervision.

The knife has a sharp, pointed blade and a lacquered birch wood handle, shaped to fit well in smaller hands. The double finger stop makes it easier to hold and reduces the risk of slipping forward onto the blade.

Mora Scout 39 is available in three color variants:

• Lingonberry (pink)
• Blueberry (blue)
• Natural (wood-colored)

The knife comes with a light brown (natural) leather sheath that has both button closure and belt loop, so it can be worn securely on the belt – ideal for scouts, outdoor life, or whittling projects in the garden.

When should you choose Mora Scout 39 (S)?

Mora Scout 39 (S) is recommended for older children who have tried using a knife before. If your child is completely new to using a knife, we instead recommend Mora Scout Safe, which has a rounded tip and thus greater safety at the start.

The knife is especially suitable for

• Whittling tasks in fresh or dry wood
• Scout activities
• Outdoor trips with overnight stays
• Learning knife technique and grip understanding

A good scout knife / dagger for beginners with some experience

Mora Scout 39 (S) is a good transition knife for children who are ready for more responsibility and precision work. It fits well in the hand and comes with a good leather sheath.
Since the whittling knife is pointed, we do not recommend it for the youngest children; here we recommend, as mentioned, a whittling knife / scout dagger with a rounded tip.
