A versatile tool designed for precision, the Svante Djarv Carving Knife 17x60 is the ideal choice for small carving projects, be it spoons or coat pegs. Its design complements Svante's range of spoon knives. If you want to keep your carving knife kit to a minimum, this is the one knife you must have. The knife comes with a simple leather blade sheath for protection, and although delivered sharpened, a final honing would enhance its edge.

- Blade Dimensions: 17mm (5/8") deep at the handle's end, 60mm (2 1/2") in length, and 3mm in thickness.

- Total Length: The overall knife length is approximately 175mm (6 7/8").
