As used by Ray in his Northern Wilderness series, the Crooked Knife functions as a one-handed drawknife-cum-gouge. In North-eastern America it was much used by the first nations of that region to fashion everything from canoe paddles to snowshoes. Woodlore are pleased to now sell this knife blade without a handle, allowing you to finish the tool to your own liking.

Each of these crooked knife blades has been professionally hand-forged from high carbon steel by Svante, the blacksmith behind Swedish company S. Djarv Hantverk. The blades are made to the same exceptionally high standards as their traditional Crooked Knives.

Each blade comes ready for insertion into your own crafted handle, allowing you to carve and shape them to your own liking, producing a truly unique finished tool.

The final design of your handle is obviously down to you, but we've included the two photos above to give you an idea of how it can be done. This style of finished knife can also be seen in Ray's Bushcraft and Essential Bushcraft books.

Details:

• Total length: 130 mm
• Blade width: 15 mm at base, tapering down to 8 mm at the tip

• Silica Gel 40 gram unit
• S. Djarv Hantverk company can be found in our Meet The Suppliers pages.

2 Reviews of Large Crooked Knife Blade - Right-handed
Average rating: 90%

0.3 I handled this blade in rosewood, trying to mimic a Mocotaugan style. Like all Svante Djarv kit it is a quality item. However, functionally the blade needs to be angled in two planes in relation to the tang. This would greatly improve handling. The blade could also be thinner. Fit a long handle if you will do any larger work (bowls, etc.) as this allows a powerful, lever-stroke using a two-handed grip.

0.3 Nice sturdy blade, looks great on the curved arctic birch handle I've made for it. Good quality example of a hard to get traditional tool. Works well on green or seasoned wood, just what you'd expect from a good quality maker.
