The Narex Carving Knife is a straight edged whittler, or wharncliffe pattern - a blade suited to chip carving and geometric or Celtic knotwork designs where a consistent, controlled cut matters more than a curved or gouging edge.
The 2mm thick blade carries a double bevel edge, giving it enough strength behind the cutting edge to hold up to repeated chip cuts without the blade flexing or the edge rolling. The beech handle is simple but well balanced, sitting comfortably in the hand across a range of grips, from a full fist grasp for larger cuts to a pinch grip for fine detail work.
It's a straightforward, well-priced knife that performs well above its cost, making it a sound choice both as a first carving knife and as a reliable everyday blade for anyone already carving regularly.
