    Default Crooked Knives - and a spoon knife

    This really is a tale of woe,
    if you could, just about here, imagine the scratchy violin noise from an early silent movie, it would help lots!
    Up for sale are three of my carving knives. The combined curse of bomb damage and old'ish age have finally got the better of me - arthritis is a bugger!

    There's a Ben Orford Crooked Knife, right handed, which I've only had a few months and not used seriously at all, there's one of Ben's excellent spoon knives, a small standard crook knife, also right handed, that's had the same treatment. Finally, there's a left handed crooked knife from Dorset Woodland Blades that I fitted with a yew handle.





    Sadly, I can't maintain a suitable grip on them to be able to use them anymore.

    So, for the right handed Ben Orford crooked knife £30.00

    The Ben Orford right handed small standard crook knife £15.00

    Finally, for the yew handled crooked knife, £35.00

    All prices are to your door, signed for.

    External, the bevel is on the outside of the knife and would be in direct contact with the workpiece.
