Hock Right-Hand Bevel Violin Knife Blades
Size:
These Hock right-hand bevel violin knife blades are small, unhandled tools built for scribing, carving and whittling the fine details involved in building or repairing a violin.
The 1/4" blade suits tight spaces like dovetail corners, the 1/2" handles general carving and whittling, and the 3/4" is ground for broader paring cuts.
The blade is O1 high-carbon steel, hardened to Rc62 for a durable edge that's easy to resharpen.
No, it ships unhandled so it can be fitted to whatever grip or holder you use.
It's ground on the right side only, giving a flat reference face for control when working along a straight edge, while the double-bevel blade is ground on both sides for even cutting in either direction.
