Father and daughter Robin and Jojo Wood are renowned spoon carvers and teachers instrumental in supporting a resurgence of edge tool manufacturing in Sheffield, England. Together they formed Wood Tools to create top-quality carving axes and knives for experienced carvers that are also versatile and easy for beginners to use.
An excellent all-around spoon carving knife, this tool is designed for comfort and versatility. It has a 2" long blade made of alloy steel, hardened to Rc61, with a curvature that becomes progressively tighter towards the tip. This permits a range of cuts from deep to shallow, depending on which part of the blade you are using.
The blade comes honed and ready to use. Behind the bevel is a highly polished, rounded section that reduces friction on the blade, providing clearance so the cutting edge remains engaged with the wood through the sweeping motion of the cut.
The 7 1/2" beech handle allows for various grips for different cuts and better overall control of the blade. Its octagonal shape gives a secure grip, prevents rolling and makes the knife comfortable to hold.
Available in right-hand and left-hand versions.
Protective sheath sold separately.

Grip the octagonal handle of this curved carving knife in whichever position gives you the most control for the cut you are making, then draw the blade through the wood in a sweeping, scooping motion to hollow out the bowl of the spoon, using the tighter curve near the tip for deep cuts and the gentler curve near the handle for shallow finishing cuts.
Yes, its progressively tighter curve toward the tip works much like a hook knife, letting you take a range of cuts from deep to shallow within one blade.
It arrives honed and ready to carve; when it needs resharpening, hone the bevel and the polished clearance behind it the same way you would any curved carving blade.
