Hock Left-Hand Bevel Violin Knife Blades
Size:
These Hock left-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.
Choose the 1/4" blade for tight spaces such as dovetail corners, the 1/2" for general carving and whittling work, or the 3/4" for broader paring cuts.
It's made from O1 high-carbon steel, hardened to Rc62 for an edge that holds up and resharpens easily.
No, the left-hand bevel blade ships unhandled, ready to fit the grip or holder you already use.
It's ground on the left 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.
