These knives were developed to do the finishing cuts, refine the form and leave a clean cut texture when carving wooden bowls. We mount them on long 16” handles to give leverage and control.
One of our first prototypes of a new sloyd knife that we are developing. It is a little thicker steel than most sloyds on the market at 3.5mm, and with a 25 degree grind angle that gives it a very wide flat bevel. We find this makes it superb for creating long smooth planing cuts, something that many carvers struggle with.
A well made sheath will age beautifully and protect the edge of the tool and the user for many years. These spoon knife sheaths are made to perfectly fit all our spoon knives. Made from recycled fire hose.

A razor sharp axe that will do anything from felling small trees to splitting firewood, where it really excels is as a carving axe.
The weight of the head is 550g and the total weight around 720g (1lb 11oz), handle length is 12.5″ (31cm). This is a great mid-weight carving axe that most people will use easily without getting tired, yet still heavy enough to remove wood quickly.
A sharp axe will only stay sharp if the edge is protected, we offer a great leather sheath for the job.
Introducing our new & improved ‘Bushcraft axe’. Now with an extra comfy handle, and an updated fit.
The woodland axe is the perfect all-round axe. Use it for everything from splitting your firewood to warm your home, to felling trees & coppice work. You can even carve a spoon with it.
Take it with you on your adventures – it is the perfect size for carrying with you. Light enough to carry, heavy enough to fell a tree.
Sheath sold separately.
It is here! Our long awaited large carving axe. A large head with a long cutting edge, a flat grind for carving and a curvy ergonomic handle. A textured handle gives it beautiful grip in use. This heavier version of our carving axe is ideal for larger work like bowl carving, or for the stronger carver who is looking for something with a bit more power.
As with all of our tools, the natural wood materials and hand grinding means there will be some aesthetic differences in handles and finishes. One thing to be sure of is that they are sure to cut like a dream.
Sheath sold separately, or make your own if you prefer.

A high quality spoon knife designed for use with a combined 30 years of spoon carving experience.
They are made from an excellent high alloy steel, very hard and tough so they hold an edge for a long time. They come razor sharp and ready to use. The handles are beech and around 7.5″ long, allowing for a great range of grips to be used efficiently.
This compound curve spoon knife design is designed for versatility. The gradually tightening curve towards the end of the spoon knife blade allows you to carve most size spoons with ease, from small caddy spoons and eating spoons to larger ladles and kuksas.

After many years forging my own tools I have finally started making hooks for sale. The are made from an excellent high alloy steel, very hard and tough so they hold an edge for a long time. They come razor sharp and ready to use. This is the blade only and you’ll have to make your own handle.
This is the right handed blade with a compound gradually tightening curve that I find a good all round shape for everything from shallow spoons to ladles and kuksas.

And whilst the knives come razor sharp and ready to use eventually you will need to sharpen it yourself. This video shows the method I use.
