Carving knife Kirschen 3307000 Carbon steel Beige handle

The set contains three carving knives stored in a velour leather bag: a carving knife with a double-sided curved edge (no. 3353000), a small blade with a skew edge for intarsia (no. 3356000) and a straight-edged knife with a round neck (no. 3358000). All blades are made of special carbon tool steel, have hornbeam handles in beige and are delivered pre-sharpened. The knives are intended for fine carving and woodworking tasks and are produced by Kirschen in Germany. Because the blades are carbon steel, they are naturally prone to corrosion and require light oiling after use or before storage.

Advantages

The set offers three complementary blade shapes that cover a range of carving techniques, from curved cutting to detailed intarsia work and straight-line trimming. Carbon tool steel provides good edge retention with a hardness of 59–61 HRC, while the hornbeam handles ensure a stable, ergonomic grip. The knives arrive pre-sharpened for immediate use; final sharpening on a whetstone refines the edge to the user’s preferred sharpness.

Suitable for

• Detailed wood carving and relief work
• Intarsia and inlay cutting

How to use

Use the curved double-edged knife (3353000) for flowing cuts and shaping, the small skew-edged blade (3356000) for detailed intarsia work, and the straight-edged knife with round neck (3358000) for straight trimming and smoothing. Hold the hornbeam handle firmly and work with controlled strokes appropriate to the wood and cut. Although the knives come pre-sharpened, sharpen them on a whetstone before first use to achieve the final edge profile and sharpness.

Usage recommendations

Because these knives are made from carbon steel, clean them after use and wipe them with a cloth lightly soaked in oil to leave a protective film. Store the knives dry in their velour leather bag and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or hand perspiration to prevent corrosion.
