Timber Tuff 10″ Straight Wood Blade Draw Shave Knife Woodworking Tool, TMB-10S

I was a little skeptical on how well one of these would work. I was even more skeptical considering this one was on the cheaper side of what is available out there. Now my use for this has been strictly as an amateur bowyer, but it has served its purpose beyond my expectation. Once you get used to using it, you find there is quite a range of versatility. You find different angles and levels of pressure you can apply to remove exactly how much wood you want to remove. You can also “use it backwards” as a scraper. I say use it backward because I don’t know if that was an intended use at all or not. But if you turn the around you can scrape very small amounts of wood from your project for more minute wood removal which is how I use this half the time.I have also left this tool outside for several months now (under cover) and it still works like new. I am very impressed, so if you are in the market you have nothing to lose by choosing to purchase this. The price point is very reasonable and the quality is superb. I will buy another one when my current one is no longer serviceable (which I assume will be when I lose it, because I don’t see it breaking or becoming unusable in the near future)
