Always sharpen from the inside of the hook to preserve the primary bevel angle. To keep your handle in peak condition, periodically apply a thin coat of food-safe wood wax or boiled linseed oil; this will nourish the natural birch, enhance the beauty of the unique wood grain, and provide a moisture-resistant seal for long-term durability!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"No Sheath","offer_id":48593061445732,"sku":"YKM13445","price":113.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Leather Sheath","offer_id":48593061478500,"sku":"YKM13387","price":142.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/NoSheath.png?v=1781704645","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/morakniv-woodcarving-hook-knife-163-precision-large-radius-spoon-bowl-carver","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
