They look very nice. The big ones are about £30 which is comparable to a custom knife here - are there none you can buy in Österreich?

Yup, brilliant curve, works very well for me, hold its edge well, and the handle is simple and comfy. I recommend it.

I have a few of his tools, looking at the link above my crook must be the standard sized one. I find it very comfortable to use, I'd recommend them.

Österreich is a big wasteland for anything concerning wood- and leatherworking. And also for knifemaking. Just as an example: Asked in a small shop for blades for my bandsaw, price for the blades was ok, but they wanted to charge me 20,- Euros for shipping one 100 gr. blade..... so I ordered from GB and got a better price for blade AND shipping...
Also I order all my knives either from Dennis (Brisa) or Per (Naturgalleriet) best prices and best service there !

And I thought of buying the unhandled Crook-Knife

Another recommendation from me... I have had one for years now and it has always been a pleasure to use.

Good knives for the price: raw fit and finish, but great performances.

Blades are in K720/O2, tangs are drawn out with power hammer while blades are hand forged with hand held hammer, than oil quenched and tempered to about 60 HRC to the edge.

Handles too are left a bit raw and give a good grip and handling .

hi, is there a uk based shop that sells them?

 

[Tiley]

Woodlore sell them as do Woodland Craft Supplies.

 

[belabear]

Prices, shipping included, are better if I order directely, understandable because if I would order from Woodlore or Woodland Craft Supplies it would have to be sent once from Sweden to the UK and then from the UK to Austria.... And I would like to buy one of their engraving knives too, so I´ll pay for one package, and that´s ok.

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers
