The detail knife has a very fine point for making the very narrow cuts associated with detailing. its straight 1-1/2" blade can accommodate larger stock removal if needed. Each carving knive is constructed with an ash handle & a high carbon steel blade. the high carbon blade holds an edge extremely well & is easily maintained by simple stropping. The comfortable carved handle allows for long periods of carving without hand fatigue at a price you can afford. each blade is honed, polished & ready to go.
