Its 8-inch straight blade, combined with a 5 mm thickness and a 30-degree bevel, helps you control depth and achieve clean, consistent edges as you work through logs, fence posts, or firewood.

Designed with real workshop use in mind, this draw knife balances performance with comfort. The wood grip handles feel sturdy in the hand, giving a secure, natural grip that helps you maintain steady control during long sessions. A blade protector is included to keep the edge sharp and your workspace safer when the tool is stored or transported.
