The HansKarlssonScorp is a two-handed tool expertly designed for shaping hollow features like chair bottoms, shallow bowls, and troughs. Crafted by the globally renowned Swedish toolsmiths at Hans Karlsson Klensmide, this Scorp is inspired by traditional designs as featured in the Lost Art Press publication 'Woodworking in Estonia'.

Key Features:

• Hand-forged from high-quality Uddeholm Arne tool steel, hardened to 62 Rockwell for durability and exceptional edge retention.
• Features a single bevel on the outside, hollow ground to about 30 degrees for efficient cutting.
• Overall length of 170mm (6 3/4") and width of 65mm (2 1/2") for comfortable handling.
• Fitted with an Ash or Elm handle, lightly finished with linseed oil for a smooth grip (please note, we always get a mix of both ash and elm handles and are not able to guarantee a preference).
• Comes with a custom leather edge protector, crafted by the Woodsmith in-house leathersmith, ensuring safety when not in use and longevity of the blade's sharp edge.

The Hans Karlsson scorp is a solid, high-quality tool that arrives sharp and ready for immediate use, making it a valuable addition to any woodworker's toolkit.
