Skewed Detail Knife with 5.5 cm blade and ash wood handle by Sharky Forged Steel Tools

Held quiet in the hand

A narrow blade meets warm ash grain—ready for the small decisions that make a carving yours.

Benchside

Skewed for the last millimeter

A maker’s inch

So many knives feel clumsy when work turns fine. The Skewed Detail Knife by Sharky Forged Steel Tools carries a 5.5 cm, pointed 52100 steel blade that slips into tight corners without crowding the line. Its 12 cm ash handle, shaped and finished with linseed oil, rests naturally in either hand, letting attention stay on the cut. The result is less strain, more control, and edges that read as deliberate.

Cuts that read clean

Detail work is where pieces earn their character. A narrow skew lets you define shadows, lift chips, and set rhythm across soft or hardwoods. With a tool ready out of the box, momentum isn’t lost—you move from idea to surface in one motion.

Who it’s for

Woodcarvers and craftsmen who shape small forms, refine chip patterns, and chase grain at close range.

In practice

Keep it at the bench for whittling, chip carving, and precise detail passes where a long blade won’t fit.
