YEEEEEEE HAW

Man I love this knife, I just wish it was sharper. Maybe if it was a flat grind.

I like the shape but it don't sharpen well

I keep coming back to Beavercraft. I've only been carving for a few months, but I've been very pleased with their quality. They're a great value for the cost, and great if you want to try carving without spending a ton of money on knives. They're nicely sharpened, right out of the box, and hold an edge nicely even under heavy use.

This knife was purchased because it had a curved blade design however I spent many hours modifying it to my liking. The bevel was reshaped so the blade angle wasn’t so tall. Most of my carving knives are a flat grind and this felt bulky and very odd trying to use it as a skew tool . Blade thickness is 2 mm and I reground the cutting angle as well as the thickness of the spine. The result flattened the grind and made the knife feel way less bulky. The wooden palm handle has a flat side that rests against the palm of my hand and I radiused the corners so it felt smoother to my palm. Also sanded and smoothed the handle and added a few coats of tru oil to finish it off . Final modification was to grind the barb off the heel end of the cutting blade so i was less likely to cut myself during use and sharpening. After all the hours shaping and refining the blade and palm handle I ended up purchasing a Flexcut 5/16” angle skewer anyway hoping it fits my needs better. As it came from the factory it was not very useful to me . I would suggest this tool would be more usefull with a thinner blade with and flatter grind with the barb on the heel modified . I extensively reworked this tool.

Great little palm knife. Definitely gives you different advantages. I love the design. I enjoy all my BeaverCraft tools I own! They always arrive nice and sharp!

Sharpness:The product discription had a lot of talk about how sharp this was but what I got was a VERY dull knife. Could barely chip into a basswood blank. I respect Beaver craft but this one was a miss.
