Скачать или смотреть Stock Knife

Here is a smaller stock knife I've just finished.

The "full size" knives used by clog makers were a little heavier, little longer but honestly, not much.

I've studied a number of old Henry Carter knives in person and this piece is based upon those.

I've made a few of these over the years and always get a lot of interest when I post them so I will consider adding them to the website, but I currently have a lot of work already on so there may be several months before I can turn them around.

This is bevelled for a right handed user.

The blade is 12.5" long, 4" deep and ground with a 25° primary and a 30° secondary/hone angle. The front is quite flat and should be maintained that way, with stropping and grinding being done on the bevel side.

This was a quick set up just to demonstrate some test cuts- the wood I had was some seriously dry, hard Ash and some equally dry but softer Hazel. In green wood the power of these tools is seriously impressive, I will try and capture some footage of test cutting in fresh wood at another time.
