The Ray Iles Small Drawknife, with a 6" cutting edge, is expertly crafted by the esteemed UK toolmaker, Ray Iles. This compact tool is not only an ideal choice for younger green woodworkers under supervision but is also perfect for detailed tasks that demand precision and finer cuts. Its design ensures accurate cuts with a slightly hollow-ground canel (bevel) that works best facing downward. While it's ready for action, a final honing touch before the first use can sharpen its potential, ensuring a finer, more precise cut.

This tool is best paired with a shave horse or similar holding device to maximise control during use. Proudly made in the UK by one of the country's leading toolmakers, Ray Iles Large Drawknife is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and design.
