The Medium Crook Knife is good for more advanced work and larger spoons, ladles and noggin bowls. The main advantage of the Medium crook knife is the larger sweep to the blade that allows you to reach deeper into the project and also has a nice flatter section near the handle for smoother cuts on eating spoons and flatter curves.

Our Crook knives or Spoon Knives have a curved blade with a single external bevel for the removal of material in the bowl of a spoon. They are available both left and right handed.

Having a pair of both left and right is very useful when carving spoons and bowls as you can cut from both sides of the bowl, and also can use a push cut rather than a pull cut. If you are a beginner we would suggest starting with just one spoon knife for your dominant hand.

We also make these same knives with a longer, hybrid style handle which is curved so you can use it in the same way as the Indian Crook Knife. It is very useful when making vessels like cups or noggins and can be used as a spoon knife too.

This crook knife is supplied with a leather blade wrap to protect the edge.
