This professional spoon carving knife is made by Narex Bystrice a highly respected cutting tool manufacturer from the Czech Republic. It is made from the same high-quality Manganese steel as their other edge tools. This spoon-carving or hook knife is perfect when you need to scoop out a convex surface from spoons or bowls. It allows for a more controlled and aggressive cut than a straight knife. It is sharpened on both sides and considered a dual-bevel version that is designed to be pushed or pulled toward the body with either hand. The blade is made from manganese alloy steel and heat treated for a hardness of 61 HRc, and will take and hold an excellent edge. The blade is 11/16" wide at it’s base and nearly a full 1/8" thick with a flat back. These blade characteristics facilitate smooth and chatter-free cuts. The blade is 2" long with a 1" radius curved blade. The blade is straight and does not tapers along its length. The knife comes razor sharp and ready for use. Handle is a full 1-1/4" wide and 4-1/2" long for a secure grip that reduces fatigue. Handle is made from stained and finished European Beech wood.
