Narex 822101 Small Spoon Carving Hook Knife for Right Hand with 11/16 Inch Wide Hardened Blade

This professional spoon carving knife, made by Narex Bystrice, a highly respected cutting tool manufacturer from the Czech Republic, is crafted from the same high-quality Manganese steel as their other edge tools. The blade is 11/16 inches wide at its base and nearly a full 1/8 inch thick with a flat back, facilitating smooth and chatter-free cuts. The 2-inch long blade features a 1-inch radius curved design, without any tapering along its length, and comes razor-sharp and ready for use.

This spoon-carving or hook knife is an excellent choice when you need to scoop out a convex surface from spoons or bowls, as it allows for a more controlled and aggressive cut than a straight knife. The right-hand version of this knife is sharpened on one side and is designed to be pulled towards the carver when using the right hand or pushed away when using the left hand.

The blade's manganese alloy steel construction and heat treatment to a hardness of 61 HRc ensures that it will take and hold an excellent edge. The full 1-1/4 inch wide and 4-1/2 inch long handle, made from stained and finished European Beech wood, provides a secure grip that reduces fatigue during extended use.

At an overall length of 6-1/2 inches, this hook knife offers an excellent value for a professional-quality tool, making it a perfect addition to any spoon carving set. The blade characteristics, such as the flat back and curved design, facilitate smooth and chatter-free cuts, while the right-hand orientation and sharpening on one side allow for a more controlled and aggressive approach to the carving process.
