Your cart is empty.This tool is rectangular in cross section giving it more weight and making it superb for spindle work e.g. newel posts and table legs. Recently modified by ‘rolling’ the edges slightly to help turners avoid catching an edge and to allow greater maneuverability. Made from high speed steel and then properly hardened and tempered. They will keep a sharpened edge about six times longer than carbon steel and resist "blued" softening from overheating during grinding or from heavy turning. They come with hard White Ash handles and brass ferrules. Handle is 12 inches long with the tool being 6 1/4 inches in length. Overall length is 18 1/4 inches.

Just pick this tool up and you can feel the balance and sturdiness of the tool. I sharpened it before use and it took an amazingly sharp edge. Great steel in this tool. I've never been disappointed in a Robert Sorby tool.

Arrived in a timely manner. Well protected in shipping. The skew was sharp and protected by a dipped coating. Cut the coating off, a couple of licks with a fine diamond hone, and it was peeling wood off of the work beautifully. Well balanced and perfect length.
