NEW Craftsman's Knife   

At first I was afraid to sell this knife, because it is very SHARP!  But I took it to a 2 day hand building workshop and it quickly became my favorite tool for cutting slabs and altering thrown forms.  It is very stiff and strong, fits in your hand well, and won't rust.  I can assure you that you will like this tool.  But please do not use where children are present!.

A heavy-duty knife made from stiff stainless steel the entire 8 inch length, hardwood handles riveted to a straight, sharp pointed 3 1/2 inch long blade.  An easy to take care of stainless steel knife designed to take punishment.  It is used to cut straight lines, pierce, ream, and furnish all a craftsman's cutting needs.    
(Overall size 8" long, 3 1/2" blade, 1" wide, brass riveted 1/2" thick.)
