Spoon Carving Hook Knife with 3 cm blade and leather case by Sharky Forged Steel Tools

A tool shaped by hand and habit

The Sharky Forged Steel Tools hook knife rests warm in the palm, ash grain quiet against brass, its curved edge inviting the first confident pull through green wood.

At the workbench

Small radius, big intent

Forged for the hollow

Tiny bowls, spoons, and kuksas ask for control where straight blades chatter. The Spoon Carving Hook Knife answers with a 3 cm rounding diameter and a sharpened edge that enters the cut cleanly. An ash wood handle, shaped for an easy grip, steadies the hand over long sessions. The included leather sheath keeps the edge—and your rhythm—ready between projects.

Cuts that follow your hand

When the curve of a spoon’s bowl feels even, the whole piece reads calm and intentional. Hardened 52100 carbon steel holds its line so you spend more time carving, less time at the strop. Thoughtful proportions—a slim 11 mm blade and 17 cm overall length—let you steer into tight concaves without forcing the tool. It’s a quiet companion that makes precision feel natural.

Made for makers

Woodcarvers—hobbyist to professional—shaping spoons, bowls, and other concave forms with attention to detail.

How it’s used

Grip the ergonomic ash handle and draw the curved blade along the grain to hollow spoons, bowls, or kuksas with controlled, smooth cuts; store it in the leather sheath between sessions.
