Discover the traditional craft of Kolrosing, a beautiful carving technique where intricate patterns are delicately etched into wood surfaces, such as spoons, cups, kuksas, plates - anything you wish! Unlike chip carving, Kolrosing involves no removal of wood; instead, it creates fine incisions filled with pigment to form detailed, decorative patterns. The Svante Djärv Kolrosing Knife is crafted specifically for this purpose, designed to handle like a fine pen to allow precise, effortless detailing.
The fine tip of the knife allows easy cutting into the grain, while the bevel angle gently pushes the grain apart, ensuring clean, precise patterns.
After carving your pattern, simply rub pigment (such as finely ground coffee) into the grooves to reveal crisp, clear, and stunningly detailed designs.

This high-quality knife from Svante Djärv is perfect for both beginners and seasoned woodworkers looking to explore and enhance their Kolrosing skills.
