Hock violin knife blade in O1, 1/4" wide, right-hand bevel, hardened to Rc62. For scribing, carving and whittling. Unhandled.
A violin knife blade from Hock, in sizes suggested by master violin maker Hans Weisshaar. It is used for scribing fine lines as well as for carving and whittling. The blade is bevelled on the right side only. The flat face rests against a straightedge or square for control when scribing along a straight edge. The narrow blade reaches into tight spots such as dovetail corners.
The blade is made from O1 high-carbon tool steel hardened to Rc62 and is supplied without a handle, so you can fit your own.
