S. Djarv Hantverk Crooked Knife Blade – Large

This Large Crooked Knife Blade, as used by Ray in his Northern Wilderness series, functions as a one-handed drawknife and gouge. In North-eastern America, this style of tool was much used by the first nations of that region to fashion everything from canoe paddles to snowshoes. Woodlore are pleased to now sell this resurrected knife blade without a handle, allowing you to finish the tool to your own liking.

Each Crooked Knife Blades has been professionally hand-forged from high carbon steel by Svante, the blacksmith behind Swedish company S. Djarv Hantverk. This tool is made to the same exceptionally high standards as their traditional Spoon Knives.

Each blade comes ready to be inserted into a handle of your own choosing, allowing you to produce a finished tool that is truly unique. The final design of your handle is obviously down to you, but we’ve included the photos shown here to give you an idea of how it can be done. This style of finished knife can also be seen in Ray’s Bushcraft and Essential Bushcraft books.
