My Homemade Crooked Knife

[penvisser]

The wrapping is with waxed cotton threath.

Thanks for looking,

I have tested the knife, perhaps I should have mounted the knife in a slight angle.
When working I can't hold the knife in an angle of 90 degrees on the wood, i hope you know what i mean.

From what I remember, it's only supposed to have a single bevelled edge, maybe that's why?

 

[penvisser]

no, what i mean is when I stretch my arm forward the blade of the knife does not make a angle og 90 degrees with my hand ( and the wood ) but something about 70 degrees.

It works well dough but next time better.

Ther was a ouble edge on the blade and also this is not preffered, so also next time better.

Looks good , are they supposed to be used at 90 degrees to the work piece then ?
also what is the bend at the end of the blade used for ?
I have been thinking about making one of these for a while now

The curved tip is for hollowing bowls and such. The Crooked Knife is actually named after the handle, several Crooked Knives are made with no bend in the tip.
