Description
These I produce as fully polished, sharpened, and tested as our handled tools, these are ready for the carver to add their own handle. See helpful instruction under “How-To’s”.
top: 1-3/4″ Short Sloyd
middle: 2-1/4″ Regular Sloyd
bottom: 2-1/4″ Straight edge Sloyd
The standard for spoon and ladle carving that we produce is the 2-1/4″ Sloyd, it allows for the long sinuous slicing cuts that make carving the handle of a spoon, and back of the bowl, such a luscious craft. However, we also sell quite a few of the 1-3/4″ Sloyd to people with smaller hands, or for doing closer work. The 2-1/4″ straight edge Sloyd has more specialized uses, more toward furniture and instrument makers. To learn more about the steel, heat treatment, etc. that we use – go to the bottom of the main spoon carving supplies page
Jim Clark –
I ordered two of the shorter blades. I am very particular about how my blades are sharpened and found these blades to be superlative. Because of their structure they’re the easiest blade to keep optimally sharp I’ve ever owned. The single bevel on each side and the straight cutting edge make these the easiest to sharpen and keep sharpened blades of the many I’ve owned. Excellent blades. I’m ordering more.
