Sorry, out of stock. Next batch in October. Please email me to go on the priority list. Thx.

Micro sloyd blade shaped and sharpened by myself using the Hewn and Hone small knife jig. It is available with an elm handle and bark/wood strip sheath or as bare blade for you to handle yourself. The tang is 1/4 inch round bar so fits perfectly into a 6.5mm hole and is secured with epoxy resin glue.

Made from bearing steel, forged and heat treated by Nic Westermann. I use a Sorby ProEdge to refine the shape, establish the bevels and hone to a scary sharp edge. The bevels are symmetrical and flat with an edge angle of 28 degrees. This blade has a narrow bevels and is designed for carving delicate details and tight concave curves.

The blade is just 40mm long and though it has a sharp point it is recommended you do not use this to drill or pry, just for cutting in line with the blade.

Note that one of the images shows it in comparison to the 60mm finishing blade, so you can see the difference.… Read More

Made from bearing steel, forged and heat treated by Nic Westermann. I use a Sorby ProEdge to refine the shape, establish the bevels and hone to a scary sharp edge. The bevels are symmetrical and flat with an edge angle is 25 degrees. The blade is 60mm long, they are hand forged so there’s a little variation. The blade has a distal taper, it is thinner towards the tip. This makes the bevel narrower at the tip to permit a tight concave surface to be carved without chatter. These are intended to be used for finishing cuts, kept super sharp and nick free so you can get a perfect knife finish on your work.

Please note the tip is very fine and not to be used for prying or drilling as it will likely bend or break.

Some of the images on this page show the finishing knife along side a Mora 106, this for you to get a clear idea of the comparative size of the blades and bevels.… Read More

OK so I’ve been meaning to start blogging for ages, so here goes. A blog about spoons and chairs and other things made from green wood using traditional methods and (mostly) hand tools.

At Spoonfest I sat down with Tom Hepworth from The Greenwood Guild and made a video about painting spoons with milk paint. Towards the end there’s a brief introduction to the magical process of ebonising. It’s available at spoonclub.co.uk and … Read More

Length: 17cm  (6 3/4 inches)
Bowl width: 4.5cm
Bowl length: 6cm

A quirky crook eating spoon with ample crank and an unusual bowl shape (for me). The crank is actually a bit far back in the neck but it’s got striking grain pattern and will shovel food just fine.

I had limited supply of Cotinus, they’re all either sold or for sale on this site – when they’re gone they’re gone.… Read More

This is a one off, unique, one and only cotinus coffee scoop with ebonised handle. Around a table spoon in size this little beaut will look great hiding in your coffee or jar or even used to the occasional medicinal nip of whisky.… Read More
