 AURIOU DRAWKNIVESLaunched in autumn 2010 these draw knives are sure to become favourites in green woodworking circles.
Curved Blade - The 9" long curved blade has a gentle radius and an effective blade angle that gives fast, controlled cutting.
Straight Blade - 9" straight bladed draw knife.
Turned 5" French walnut handles with brass ferrules are spaced 13½" apart. There is a slight splay to the handles (about 8 degrees) which makes the action of drawing the knife toward you more comfortable (of course there are dozens of views on this but based on feedback received on their prototypes and the study of old designs Auriou decided this was the best compromise).
Each draw knife comes honed and ready for use. Weight 0.5 kgs (1.2 lbs).
Hand forged at Forge de Saint Juery, France, home of Auriou Toolworks.
Available in the USA from Highland Hardware and Craftsman Studio.
Available in the UK from Classic Hand Tools. |
