As used by Ray in the new 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 Spoon 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 the 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
We'd love to see how you get on making your own handle, so e-mail us your photos and you may see them up on our blog.
