Open-Curve Spoon Knife

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.

This spoon-carving knife is designed to provide smooth finishing cuts with a slightly undulating surface. The 3" long blade is made of hardened alloy steel and has a gentler, more open curvature than the compound curve knife (sold separately). 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.
