About Hans Karlsson Klensmide AB:

Hans Karlsson Klensmide AB, based in Sweden, is globally celebrated for its exceptional hand tools, combining superb design with the finest steel for unparalleled edge retention. Despite a higher upfront cost, the durability and performance of their tools provide excellent value, making them a wise choice even in challenging economic times.

Like us, Hans Karlsson operates as a family-run business, they prioritise quality over quantity, ensuring each tool meets their exacting standards. This commitment has generated immense demand worldwide. The workshop, located in Motala and formerly a butcher's factory, now features forges, a handle-making shop, a fully-equipped machine shop, and a "fitting room" showcasing their 800-tool range.

At Woodsmith, we echo the Karlsson’s belief in tools that deliver exceptional performance and joy over many years. Due to the handmade nature and limited production, Hans Karlsson tools are in high demand, with shipments arriving only every 9-12 months, leading to periods of stock unavailability. To secure one of these coveted tools, we recommend signing up for email alerts on our product pages, ensuring you’re among the first to know when stock is replenished.

Product Reviews

“

This knife is my go-to spoon carving knife. I keep it honed and sheathed when not in use, and when it does get used for carving, it slices through anything like butter. The folks at Hans Karlsson know what they're doing when it comes to knives. Don't let price tags on the Hans Karlsson tools scare you away - these tools are the envy of everybody, and for good reason. They're made from the highest quality Swedish steel with high carbon, and in many cases, Hans Karlsson Klensmide AB uses industrial ball bearing steel (VERY strong and hard and good edge retention) for their tool making. There are other outstanding knife makers, and they all have a unique take on knives. Woodsmith UK happens to sell many of these knives, but for me, this is the main knife that I need and I cannot find another knife that matches up to this one. I absolutely highly recommend this knife, as it is impossible to be disappointed with such an amazing product.
