Von Trott hook knives are highly sought after for a reason. Made from 01 tool steel with turned blackwood handles, the blade is made to perfection.
This hook has an open sweep perfect for cleaning up your spoon bowls and also for carving shallow spoon bowls.
Hollow forged for easy sharpening and consistent bevels, these blades take zero skill to keep a razor sharp edge.
We recommend only sharpening hook knives on the inside edge as you have a flat registration point to work with. The outside of the blade has a convex surface from the tip to heel as well as from the edge to the spine which means that there is a complexity to could lead to headaches if you get it wrong.
Regular stropping however on the inside edge using a dowel with stropping compound and a stropping paddle for the outside edge is a great way to maintain a keen edge for longer before you will even need to think about resharpening your hook knives.
