Available is a stunning 88mm carving knife made from English yew burr and ancient bog oak

Please note: Westermann hand forged blades are excluded from the loyalty points programme

Blade:  88mm x 15mm blade 3mm thick hand forged by Nic Westermann

A forged blade suitable for greenwood carving, a forged distal taper means these bevels shorten towards the tip

These blades were designed by Nic Westermann to echo some features of the turning sloyd and have a subtly hollowed spine that has been smoothed and polished for comfort when push cutting.

Handle: The handle is crafted from a stunning piece of English yew burr from Suffolk showing a beautiful array of contrasting colours. 

Additional trim includes jet black bog oak dug up from the Fens on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk borders and carefully air dried then kiln dried before being quarter sawn to give a beautifully contrasting pattern.

Radio carbon dating has shown these ancient giant oaks to be around 3300BC.

Lastly, a brass pin has been inserted in the rear

Leather: The knife is being sold with a handstitched leather blade slip or a sheath is available as an option or contact me for further sheath options.
