Planing sloyd – prototype
£57.00
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.

Our planing sloyd is a little thicker than most carving knives  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. The back is nicely rounded and polished to make thumb push cuts extra comfortable. It’s made from the same high alloy steel as our hooks, hardened to 61rc and cryogenically treated so it holds an incredibly sharp edge for a very long time. The planing sloyd will fit in our hook knife sheaths either leather or firehose if desired.
Blade length: 65mm / 2.5″
Handle length: 140mm / 5.5″

Very nice blade, something different from others. I like it
Michael J. Amphlett –
A different feel to the more traditional Scando grind sloyd knife, a very strong and rigid blade, but feels really good after a few minutes use! And not just for long planing cuts, seems to work well in tight spaces, like the transitions from bowl to handle on spoons, just choke-up on the blade (easy, because it’s such a short blade) and use the fine tip! Becoming a favourite tool!
