Brand/Manufacturer: Bastionhead
Blade (Edge) Arc Length: approx. 3 inches
Handle Length: approx. 14 inches
Overall Length (blade + handle): approx. 17.5 inches
Handle Construction/Material: Quality hardwood.  Octagonal with bandsawn texture for improved grip.  Fastened with epoxy.
Grind Geometry:  Convex outer bevel, hollow back, ~28 degrees at edge.
 
NOTE: This hook knife is intended primarily for two-handed usage with the workpiece immobilized by a clamp.
 
Each hook knife is hand made by me from start to finish.  I try to achieve reasonably uniform specifications, but there may be up to a quarter inch discrepancy in the blade length and a half inch in the overall length from their stated nominal dimensions.  Wood species for handles will vary, but will always be a quality hardwood such as ash, maple, walnut, hickory, black locust, honey locust, cherry, elm, or oak. Particular handle species may be available upon request depending upon current stock, but cannot be guaranteed (contact us for more information if you have a species preference).
 
I personally grind, hone, and test every blade I offer to ensure good cutting performance, edge retention, and ergonomics.  The video shows hook knife performance cutting half-dry walnut.  Knives ship razor sharp, ready to work, and include a reusable plastic edge cover.  
 
We are anticipating these will be available early June 2025.
