Brand/Manufacturer: Bastionhead Style: Bevel Up Blade Width: 3.5 inches (approximately) Overall Width: 14 inches Handle Construction/Material: Walnut with bandsawn finish for grip. Fastened with epoxy.

The Bastionhead Spindle Shave is in essence a small BEVEL-UP drawknife that has the handles swept out to about 45 degrees instead of closer to 90 degrees like most drawknives. This handle sweep gives more clearance between the handles and the workpiece in many instances, and offers a different feel and ergonomics that some users may prefer. Being bevel-up tools, they are best for working flat sections, straight tapers, chamfering corners, and the like. While they are quite capable for a small tool and can remove material with remarkable speed in skilled hands, they are not intended to be used with extreme force.

I make these tools to suit my own high standards of performance, ergonomics, and durability. They hold a good edge and sharpen easily.

Each Spindle Shave is handmade by me, and I personally grind, hone, and test every blade I offer to ensure good cutting performance, edge retention, and ergonomics. This Spindle Shave ships razor sharp, ready to work, and include a reusable plastic edge cover.
