Crooked Knives are an indigenous tool from North America. They are used with one hand for dimensional planing and shaping wood - Serving the job of draw-knife, scrub plane, and finishing plane in one. The bent tip allows working over wood that is wider than the blade and serves for very shallow hollowing.

The handle is approximately 6.5” long with round grip and will accommodate a user’s palm width from about 3” - 4” (If your hand is a lot larger or smaller from average contact me at ordering) Carved by knife from Paper Birch or black cherry.

The approximately 3 3/4” long blade is forged from 26c3 steel to a thin edge. It has a wide flat bottom bevel and a narrow bevel on top - Fast cutting geometry ideal for straight grain and softwood, but not the least bit shy of any green or seasoned hardwood. Made in the USA (knife in pictures is right handed)

Each handmade blade is forged and ground for high performance. The steel is hard but not brittle and it sharpens easily.

Attention: Blades for these knives have been forged and are finished as orders come in, wait time for shipment varies from approximately two weeks to a month from order date.
