Hand forged by the highly sought after Swedish toolmakers, S. Djarv Hantverk AB, the Svante Djarv Carving Knife 16x80 stands out as a must-have carving tool. With its elongated blade design, it's adept for diverse carving projects, be it delicate spoons or robust coat pegs. This is the longest (blade) carving knife that Svante produces - most similar in comparison to the Mora Carving Knife 106. If you want a simple but effective carving toolkit, without compromising on versatility, comfort or quality, this knife is a great addition to your collection. Similarly, if you've been carving with the Mora 106 for a while and looking to upgrade, this is the natural choice stepping from a factory-made knife to a handmade one.

Key Features:

• Blade Design: The length of the blade makes it versatile, suitable for both detailed work and broader cuts.
• Dimensions:
  • Blade: 16mm (5/8") deep at the handle end, 80mm (3 1/6") long and 3mm thick.
  • Handle: 110mm (4 1/4") long.
• Blade Specifications: Hand-forged high carbon steel blade with flat bevels ground to 20 degrees. The finishing polish may induce a slight convexity on the bevel.
• Handle Material: Ribbed Swedish elm, designed for comfort and an assured grip during long carving sessions.
• Blade Protection: Now includes a simple leather blade sheath from Woodsmith for safe storage and blade protection.
• Sharpness: While the knife arrives sharpened, a final honing will further refine its cutting edge.
