Straight Carving Knife

A Garrett Wade Exclusive. Carving wooden spoons is a classic easy-to-do hobby, and one of the best ways to introduce beginners to woodcarving. A decent spoon can be carved from block to soup spoon in a single afternoon by even a novice whittler, and that’s what makes it an excellent teaching aid – spoon carving delivers instant feedback and great satisfaction.

This Straight Carving Knife has a 2-1/4" high-carbon steel blade and a 4-1/4" long hardwood handle. This knife allows you to create handles and other smooth surfaces in your carving projects with minimal effort.

Together with the Deep Hook Carving Knife and Soft Hook Carving Knife make up the Garrett Wade Spoon Carving Tools Set.
