Here you go Del makes the best hook knives just send him an email if you have any questions I have multiple of his knives and love them. Search the forums for stubbs or pinewoodforge and you will find pictures of them Pinewood Forge Scandinavian Knives Carl

I'm waiting on one of Del's hook knives now. Bought it from Cliff on this forum. Can't wait to try it cause I hear really good things about them. I'm currently using an Erik Frost Swedish carving hook knife and don't care for it too much because it is sharpened on both sides. When I bought it I thought this was good because I only needed one hook knife for pushing or pulling. I actually like to push with my thumb and I can't do that with this hook knife very well because I'm pushing on a sharpened edge. I think now it's better to have a left hand and seperate right hand hook knife. Steven |

Steven you will be really have with the knife of Del's if you have been using a Frost, I started with Frosts and they are good knives but Dels blow them away. Carl
