Hooked Knife Materials

Everything that gets created by BeaverCraft here in Ukraine, which is the biggest country in Europe, aims to achieve the famous European quality in everything, including wood carving tools, is made out of only the most optimal materials there are for toolmaking. The handle, or shaft, of this hooked knife is made of light wood  and the most ergonomic shape for carving that won’t exhaust your hands quickly and would allow you to work on your projects longer. It’s finished with natural oil to prevent cracking of the handle and preserve it longer. The blade, or razor, of this SK1S spoon carving knife is made with high carbon steel which holds the edge and cuts wood easily, much better than other options like stainless steel, for example. It’s easy to strop or sharpen and the effect will last longer so you won’t have to worry or get bored with the routine anymore. Of course, you still need to strop the tool if you want it to serve you better and longer.

Hook Knife Sheath

The leather sheath which has a small button for you to keep it closed firmer is made of genuine cowhide leather. It has a place to put the blade in and kind of hook it there so it doesn’t come out easily. This way the tool will be 100% protected by the leather and it won’t slip out of it occasionally. The dark brown cowhide leather will keep your tool safe and decorate your workbench, toolbag or worktable.
