Bowl Carving Blade, Hand Made in Australia, Hillbilly Forge

Bowl Carving Blade, Hand Made in Australia  (RIGHT Handed Blades)

Carbon Steel blade in 1095 high-carbon tool steel, hand made by Jason at Hillbilly Forge in NSW.

The blades are curved with a single sharp side, for carving bowls, cups and larger spoons.

The finish is somewhat rustic and each blade is individually made so they are not identical but each set comes with one open and one rounded spoon carving blade.

These are also called "hook blades" due to the shape, and used by spoon carvers and bowl makers for creating hollows in spoon, bowls and cups.

These are for holding in your RIGHT hand, allowing your thumb to rest on the spine safely. The edge is underneath the blade.
