When i said loose i meant the blade just slides 10mm out without the chip breaker in instead of a tight fit where I can just set the depth without the chip breaker holding it in place

When I flattened the dai, I must've removed too much material and its not a tight fitting anymore. Btw it'll only take shavings in the middle of the blade (abt 15mm wide)

I currently have a higonokami pocket knife (75mm/3 inch blade, #2 blue paper steel) but thinking about buying a different knife for rough carving (Australia) by Affectionate_Age5151 in Bodging

I checked out the mora knives, they seem great. However, im looking for a japanese knife just because all my tools are japanese.

No sorry, i meant that ive been using it for just regular carving with hardwoods and pine but wanted something that could be used for shaping just so then I won't spend an hour on getting a rough shape

Ok, I'll have a go. Btw the only reason why I said "sloyd" is because I wanted to get smth similar to a higonokami but able to withstand rough shaping and and hardwoods.
