Hoop knife?

[mountainm]

Does such a thing exist - like a spoon knife but one that goes all the way round to form a full U shaped cutting edge - similar to a clay modelling tool? Or like a very small scorp.

{EDIT} - Nevermind - just realised it's called a loop knife.
{DOUBLE EDIT} - Except loop knives seem to be farriers knives with an internal bevel - anything with an external bevel?

Cheers

Mike

Have done (see post ) - they all seem to be drawknife size or tiny gouges - need something more medium sized

Think Lee Stoffer & Nic Westerman were making something along these lines Mike, more info here on Soars blog

Yup... he sure does. Made for him by Dave Budd and he calls it a hollow iron

He's got a write up of it on his website

Lee is selling them for £70 if you're interested... A bit out of my budget unfortunately.

I make the scorps too ,i did a batch for Lee before he got Nic involved with them, Chris Grant made the origional one and i did a small run for Lee at the 2011 bushcraft show in Windermere, they are one of my favourate tools to use, i make 3 different sizes too i think Lee only has the large ones made at present.
