Review on πŸͺ“ Felled 8in Curved Draw Shave Knife: Efficient Woodworking Debarking Hand Tool by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not for me but maybe for someone else

This product was not sharp when it arrived it actually had quite a few burrs. I returned it as I found it was not suitable for skinning mesquite logs as you need a sharper blade. I wasn't a fan of the curved blade either. I'm not deducting any stars for that. I'm sure that's one of the factors why it's not easy to sharpen. Not for me, but maybe for someone else.

Pros
  • EASY TO USE: Just clip the shank into the clip so it doesn't move while you work; From the middle of your piece, start digging out the wooden blade and move toward you in a controlled manner. Make sure the beveled side is facing up to dislodge or "pull" the chips from the workpiece. Keep sculpting until you're satisfied; Work slowly and wear protective gear
Cons
  • not safe
