The Flatter Curve Crook Knife is ideal for eating spoons and projects that are not too deep, as the flatter blade profile leaves a very smooth finish. Due to the shallower curve to the front of the blade it is not as suited to deep work.

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.

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

Having a pair of both left and right is very useful when carving spoons and bowls so you can cut from both sides of the bowl (one giving a pull cut, the other giving a push cut). If you are a beginner we would suggest starting with just one spoon knife for your dominant hand and then moving on to other styles as your skills progress.

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