This hand-forged hook knife is designed for spoon carving, bowl carving, kuksa carving, and controlled hollowing of concave wooden surfaces. Its deeply curved cutting edge allows the carver to shape and remove wood from the inside of spoons, bowls, cups, kuksas, and other hollow wooden forms where a straight carving knife is less effective.

• Blade Diameter: 3 cm (1.18 in)

• Handle Length: 10.5 cm (4.13 in)

• Overall Length: 17 cm (6.69 in)

• Weight: 80 g (2.82 oz)

✔️ Blade: Made from 52100 carbon steel, known for its strength, toughness, and ability to hold a sharp working edge with proper care.

✔️ Handle: Made from ash wood, a strong and resilient hardwood with good shock resistance and a comfortable natural feel.

✔️ Leather Sheath: Made from Crazy Horse leather, valued for its durability and distinctive vintage-style finish. It helps protect the sharpened blade during storage and transportation.

The deeply curved cutting edge allows the carver to remove wood efficiently from concave surfaces and work inside spoons, bowls, cups, kuksas, and similar carved forms.

With an overall length of 17 cm and a weight of only 80 g, the knife is compact and manageable, providing good control during detailed carving and hollowing work.

The hooked blade geometry makes it easier to reach curved areas that are difficult to work with using conventional straight carving knives or chisels.

Each hook knife is forged and finished by hand, giving it a traditional handmade character. Small variations in the forged surface are a natural part of the production process and make every tool unique.

The Crazy Horse leather sheath covers the sharpened cutting edge when the knife is not in use and helps protect the blade during storage or transport.

To keep your hook knife in good working condition, clean the blade after use, wipe the carbon steel completely dry, and store the tool in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the steel periodically to help prevent rust. The ash handle can occasionally be treated with natural oil or wax to preserve the wood. Make sure the blade is clean and dry before placing it into the leather sheath.

This Hand-Forged Hook Knife is a practical carving tool for spoon carvers, bowl makers, green woodworkers, and other woodworkers who need controlled wood removal when shaping curved and hollow wooden forms.
