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.
Hollow forged for easy sharpening and consistent bevels, these blades take zero skill to keep a razor sharp edge.
Comes beautifully boxed and makes a great gift for keen carvers or yourself!
**Please note that images show a right handed hook**
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.

I purchased this for my 13 year old son whose current passions include knife making and spoon carving. He's become very picky and opinionated about knife quality and comments constantly on the knives we use for everything. He's been using my spoon carving tools, so he has experience with hook/curved knives. I was hesitant to buy this for him because it looks like a beast, but he talked me into buying it for his birthday. After first using it, I was delighted to hear him wax poetically on all the ways this is an awesome knife, saying things like, "This is so satisfying. Look at how smoothly and deeply and easily this can cut." The praise continues. It's been worth every penny. Thank you WOOD TAMER!
