The Flexcut KN27 Mini Detail Knife has a 0.75-inch high carbon steel straight blade at 5.25 inches overall, ground from ultra-thin stock, with a faceted wood handle. Made in the USA.
The thin stock is the whole point. A thick blade wedges the wood apart as it cuts, disturbing the surface either side of the line, while an ultra-thin one passes through without pushing the grain around it. That is what a detail knife is for: the last cuts on a carving, where a heavier tool would spoil work already done.
The handle is faceted rather than round, giving multiple flat control points so the hand can index the blade angle by feel. High carbon steel takes an extremely keen edge and strops back in seconds, which matters on a tool sharpened many times in a session. Explore more Wood Carving Tools.
