Description

Our brand new chip carving knife is made from top modern 26C3 steel, the Swedish equivalent to the famous Japanese shirogami "white paper" steel. It is the only one of its kind and is specifically developed to try and be the best knife that money can buy. Designed by a professional carver, using one of the best knife steels on the market and forged with a custom heat treatment for optimal performance as a chip carving knife. It has a hardness of ~61hrc but is still easy to sharpen. The back of the blade is rounded and polished for more comfortable push cuts, and it allows you to burnish the wood smooth after carving.
