Svante Djarv drawknife 200mm: Precision-crafted for delicate woodwork

Step into the world of fine woodworking with the Svante Djarv Drawknife 200mm, expertly hand-forged by the Swedish toolsmiths, Svante and Elsa, at Svante Djarv Hantverk AB. This tool is a testament to precision, offering both flexibility and accuracy, making it a sought-after addition for those passionate about woodworking. Elsa Djarv describes this as "a handicraft drawknife... for small people or for small work".

Key Features:

• Adaptable Handles: You can choose from two unique versions to cater to different woodworking needs - 90-degree handles for a more standard grip and 45-degree handles for those who prefer an angled approach. Select your preferred type using the drop-down box.
• Versatile Bevel Design: The smart design encourages users to employ the drawknife with its bevel facing downwards for efficient stock removal or, alternatively, with the bevel up for detailed and controlled work.
• Dimensions and Durability: Crafted from robust Swedish tool steel, its straight edge extends 200mm (8") in length, 20mm (3/4") in width, and has a thickness of 3mm. This assures consistent sharpness and endurance.
• Bevel Angle: With a bevel angle of precisely 27 degrees, this drawknife is geared more towards fine shavings. It's not designed for aggressive material removal but excels when refining and fine-tuning projects. The bevel, due to the polishing process, can occasionally present as slightly convex.
• Ergonomic Handle: The handles, carved from Swedish elm, span 90mm (3 1/2") in length and feature a ribbed design, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip during prolonged carving sessions.
• Safety Sheath: To maintain the blade's sharpness and protect it from external elements, it comes equipped with a wrap-around leather sheath. Woodsmith specially crafts this sheath from 3mm thick waxy split leather, securely fastened with two poppers.
• Sharp and ready to work: Every drawknife arrives sharpened, honed, and primed for immediate use.
