Overview
A 3.14 inch carbon steel sloyd whittling knife with a pointed tip and rounded blade, designed for roughing out cuts and general wood carving, spoon carving included.
The pointed tip handles detail work while the rounded blade edge is built for slicing cuts, a combination sloyd knives are known for. The oak handle is treated with linseed oil rather than lacquer, and BeaverCraft states the blade arrives sharpened and ready to use.
- 3.14 inch blade with pointed tip and rounded slicing edge
- High-carbon steel blade, hardened and pre-sharpened
- Oak handle finished with natural linseed oil
- Made in Ukraine by BeaverCraft
Who it's for
Beginner to experienced wood carvers doing whittling or spoon carving. Not a fit for anyone wanting a dedicated detail knife rather than a roughing blade.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Ships sharpened and polished, ready to use
- Rounded blade suits slicing cuts, pointed tip suits detail
- Hardened carbon steel handles hardwoods, not just softwood
- Oak handle shaped for extended carving sessions
- Carbon steel needs drying and oiling to avoid rust
- Not a dedicated detail knife for fine work
Performance notes
The rounded blade profile is built for slicing cuts while the pointed tip adds control for detail work, and the carbon steel is hardened for an edge that BeaverCraft says can also handle harder woods like oak or walnut, not just softwood. Carbon steel needs more moisture care than stainless to avoid rust, and the oak handle relies on linseed oil rather than a sealed finish.
