Straight Drawknife – Kirschen

Traditional pull knife used for controlled wood removal , especially in carpentry and woodworking.

This tool is frequently used for peeling logs, adjusting beams, and working with solid wood pieces , and is also useful in wood restoration and construction work.

The correct way to use the tool is by pulling the blade towards the user , never pushing it. If the blade gets stuck in the wood, it should be removed by pulling the tool back along the cut .

The blade has a thickness of approximately 4 to 4.5 mm at the base of the bevel , providing robustness and stability during work. The factory sharpening angle is 25° , suitable for soft to medium wood. For harder woods or more demanding work, the angle can be adjusted up to 35° .

The two wooden handles allow for a firm and balanced grip , ensuring good control of the tool during work.

Made in Germany.
