Detailed Tool Breakdown

Whittling Knife — 2" (50mm)

The foundation of every spoon or bowl begins with shaping the exterior. This 2" (50mm) whittling knife is your primary tool for contouring handles and removing bulk material. Its straight, razor-sharp blade provides the leverage needed for clean, powerful slices, allowing a smooth transition from a raw block to a refined ergonomic shape.

Double-Sided Hook Knife — 1.38" (35mm)

Creating the hollow center of a spoon or Kuksa requires specialized geometry. Our 1.38" (35mm) hook knife features a perfect curvature for hollowing. The double-sided cutting edge makes it exceptionally versatile, allowing both push and pull strokes for left- or right-handed use, ensuring a symmetrical interior surface every time.

Gouge Sweep 8 — 0.8" (20mm)

The details make the masterpiece. This 0.8" (20mm) gouge is the ideal tool for refining deeper curves and cleaning up internal walls. It excels at removing small ridges left by the hook knife, ensuring a polished, professional finish even in the toughest grain.

I've used a variety of knives, including those mentioned most by seasoned carvers; in my opinion, this ranks up there with those. It came sharp, and it strops up easily. I've enjoyed carving with this knife.

This is a great tool and is very well made. Arrived super sharp and highly polished. It cuts very well and very smoothly. It took about a 3 week to arrive to Alberta, Canada, but for the price it was well worth the wait. Thanks!
