Micro Round Scorp
no longer available
Although some people use this for aggressively hollowing out wood, I discourage it. Because the blade is quite small, I suggest this carving knife be used only where no other tool will do the job. It is terrific for reaching into areas where a push tool would be going against the grain. This is a very handy tool for details in relief wood carvings. The Micro Round Scorp is my most delicate tool. When the blade gets stuck in a cut it must be backed out. If any prying is done, the blade can seriously chip.

A good wood carving knife for spoons, bowls, masks
SC-1   1" round blade    8.5" overall     $78 		Flat Bottom Scorp     add to cart
(Soon to be discontinued) Flat Bottom Scorp is a wood working tool for hollowing out wood carvings, chair seats, masks, bowls. Especially good for removing tool marks from other wood carving knives.
SC-2   1" flat blade    8.5" overall     $82
   
These wood carving tools are pulled through the wood. The chip being removed goes through the hole of the blade. The handles, with their double bulge, can be used with one or two hands and are extremely comfortable on pull strokes. The two larger scorps are useful for hollowing out larger areas, like chair seats and large bowls. The two smaller ones are favorites for detailed carving. Picture at right shows Micro Round Scorp in use.

My carving knives are intended for serious wood carvers. They are razor sharp and can be very dangerous if used improperly. Please be careful and don't allow young people to use them unsupervised.

Your satisfaction is fully guaranteed. If you have a problem of any kind with one of my knives, please let me know. I will make it right with you.
