Woodland cc Custom 85mm full tang sloyd knife is the flagship of our carving range. Boasts a precious ground, O1 toolsteel blade and full tang construction, this sloyd knife has become a popular choice of woodcarver carvers of all levels of experience.
The distal taper and the flat Scandi ground to a zero edge blade at a bevel angle of 25⁰ (inclusive) 12.5⁰ on either side, this is a very capable, fine cutting, nimble and accurate carving tool. The full tang construction increases the overall strength and balance of this beautifully handcrafted piece. While the rounded spine adds to a more comfortable cutting experience.
O1 toolsteel is a tried and tested alloy, being in use from around the 1930s. From machine plainer blades, carving tool, bushcraft and outdoors knives and much more. Each knife is carefully heat treated to a hardness of 60-61 HRC, which I find to be the "sweet spot" to get the most out of this awesome old-school steel grade, providing the perfect balance between hardness/edge retention and durability.
Please note: Each and every blade that leaves our workshop receives the same heat treatment (*specific to each steel grade in question*) and testing procedure. Regardless of how small or large the blade size or batch quantity. I believe, that a correct heat treatment is the most important part of the manufacturing process.
