Straight Knives

Northwest Coast Straight Knife: Our straight knife is hafted in beautiful yew wood and has a short powerful drop-point high carbon tool steel blade perfect for incising, striking lines and finishing tasks. This tool is ideal for Northwest coast carving and about any other type too. A redesigned tip makes it a better tool for the finishing strokes in a carving. Comes with a black seine twine wrap and a fine hand-sewn heavy-weight oak-tanned leather sheath with belt loop to protect your knife and allow you to carry it on your hip. A sharp and unique tool, functional and beautiful. Overall length about 8", working blade length 2", 3/32″ thick, matte finish.
