Use a tapered diamond hone or a slip stone to maintain the edge along the inside curve—never sharpen the edge from the outside of the curve, as this will alter the tool's cutting angle and ruin the profile. Always store your hook knife in the optional leather sheath or a protective roll to ensure the edge remains pristine and to protect your fingers when reaching into your tool kit. A light rub of boiled linseed oil on the birch handle once or twice a year will keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out or cracking!\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zen","offers":[{"title":"Right-hand \/ No Sheath","offer_id":48593032216676,"sku":"YKM13443","price":108.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Right-hand \/ Leather Sheath","offer_id":48593032249444,"sku":"YKM13385","price":136.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left-hand \/ No Sheath","offer_id":48593032282212,"sku":"YKM13444","price":108.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Left-hand \/ Leather Sheath","offer_id":48593032314980,"sku":"YKM13386","price":136.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/6487\/0244\/files\/Right.png?v=1781701452","url":"https:\/\/www.greenhousepolytunnels.com.au\/products\/morakniv-woodcarving-hook-knife-164-precision-scandinavian-spoon-carving-tool","provider":"Greenhouse \u0026 Polytunnels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
