Made right here on the Northwest coast of Washington. The blade has an in-swept curve on one side to produce a deep scorp like cut with a pulling stroke ,(in this case for a right hander to pull to the left), and is out-swept on the other side for the pushing or pulling stroke of the B bend crook knife in the other direction. This deeply bent version takes a larger shaving than the shallow bend version, but is less useful in creating flat surfaces. The in-swept side excels at stock removal, and can be used for creation of inside curves, while the out-swept side excels at final shaving of inside curves, and lowering to ground, but will also do stock removal. It is useful when working on large spoons. Because the tip comes to a fine point the knife can clean up detail work on moderate to large work pieces when used in either direction. Edge bevels have been kept to the topside of the blade for the most aggressive cutting action. read more
