Spalted beech spoon knife

A stunning spalted beech, boxwood and pink ivory right-handed spoon knife, with a high quality Kay Embretsen blade. This is a top tier, one-of-a-kind tool that performs outstandingly well, ready for a life of quality carving. 
 
The handcarved handle has octagonal facets which conform well to the hand and make the knife particularly easy to control and comfortable during extended use. 
 
The blade from the highly experienced bladesmith Kay Embretsen is one of the finest money can buy, hand forged in high carbon steel and bout 40 mm long and 9 mm wide. It would work well for everything from carving eating spoons to finishing carved bowls. 
 
The handle was finished with Peacock Oil, a unique blend of the world's finest traditional oils, resins and waxes that together produce a breathable, water-repellent, figure enhancing and grain strengthening finish.
