DK-1   1 1/4" blade   9" overall   $121
Small picture of draw knife, hand forged wood working tool by North Bay Forge. A fine wood carving tool for removing wood quickly. Great for furniture carving, carving musical instruments (necks of guitars), boat spars, wood carving with a shaving horse. The compact design allows access to tight areas with terrific control. With both hands so close to the blade, these offer the most control and power possible. The forged handles are cupped to contour to the hands with small forged finger hooks on the ends to ensure positive grips. Because the blade is only about 1 inch long, this is not a tool to use on pieces of wood wider than about 3 inches.
This micro-drawknife is a one piece forging from a round bar of high carbon steel (W-1) with handles designed to contour to your hands. It is unsurpassed for quick removal of a lot of wood and fine control in tight places. The small finger hooks on the ends of the handles ensure a comfortable and positive grip. However, because the edge is so short and the handles are bent down below the plane of the blade, this drawknife can not be used on pieces wider than about 3 inches.

My carving knives are intended for serious wood carvers. They are razor sharp and can be very dangerous if used improperly. Please be careful and don't allow young people to use them unsupervised.

Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you have a problem of any kind with one of my knives, please let me know. I will make it right with you.
