HSS Wood Carving Graver Knife with Maple Handle

Precision HSS Wood Carving Knife for Detailed Work

This HSS Woodworking Graver Carving Knife is designed for controlled, accurate cutting in fine woodwork, instrument repair, and detailed DIY projects. The blade is made from high-speed steel (HSS), offering excellent edge retention and consistent performance on hardwoods and softwoods alike.

The knife features a carefully shaped hardwood handle with a protective metal ferrule for added strength at the blade joint. The ergonomic profile supports a natural grip, reducing strain during long carving sessions while giving you precise control for delicate cuts, outlines, and finishing details.

With a hand shank length of 150 mm, knife length of 62 mm, and a 2 mm thick blade, this tool is well balanced for both push cuts and controlled paring. It is suitable for chip carving, relief carving, letter carving, woodcut printmaking, and fine adjustments in instrument making and repair.
