Crooked Knife

Crooked Knife
Crooked Knives originate amongst the Indigenous peoples of North America. They are a strong tool used with one hand for dimensional planing and shaping wood - it will serve the job of draw-knife, scrub plane, and finishing plane in one. There is enough curve to work over wood that is wider than the blade and the bent tip serves for very shallow hollowing.
The handle is approximately 160mm long and will accommodate a user’s palm width from 80-105mm. Carved from straight grained Birch wood.
The approximately 95mm long blade is hammer forged from 1.2002/26c3 steel to an extremely thin edge with a small secondary bevel - A fast cutting geometry ideal for straight grain and softwood, but not the least bit shy of any green or seasoned hardwood.
Made with respect and admiration for the original indigenous craftspeople and toolmakers who invented this knife.
