Often an ordinary drawknife is too large for carving, something smaller with a bit more control is called for. This item from Veritas fits the bill perfectly, designed for ease of use with maximum control. The teardrop-shaped handles are cocked at 45° to the blade and nestle comfortably in your hands. The polished 100 x 3 x 19mm(4" x 1/8" x 3/4") blade is ground and honed to a perfect edge, and is supplied with a blade guard. An optional leather case is available separately.
