Bison 1879 Curved Draw Knife: Artisanal Precision for Woodworking

The Bison 1879 curved scraper is an essential tool for traditional woodworkers, carpenters, or enthusiasts of green woodworking. This specialized tool, also known as a pull scraper, is designed to remove thin layers of wood, flatten beams, or remove bark with great control. Thanks to its curved cutting edge, the knife follows the natural contours of the wood more easily than a straight model, resulting in a smooth and accurate finish.

As part of the high-quality Bison 1879 series, this drawknife guarantees durability and craftsmanship.

- Curved Cutting Edge (250 mm): The slight curve in the blade makes this knife ideal for working on round surfaces, such as tree trunks and beams, and provides extra grip on the fibers during pulling.
- Hardened and Ground Carbon Steel: The blade is made of high-quality carbon steel that has been carefully hardened. This ensures a stable cut that stays sharp for a long time, even with intensive use on hard woods.
- Optimal Control: With a total length of 43.70 cm and ergonomic wooden handles at both ends, the knife offers excellent leverage and a stable grip for controlled movements.
- Lightweight Design: Despite its robustness, the draw knife weighs only 500 grams, allowing you to work for long periods without fatigue.
- Long service life: Bison offers a warranty period of no less than 10 years, which underlines the reliability of this German quality tool.

The Bison 1879 drawknife is indispensable for anyone who works with rough wood. For furniture makers, it is the ideal tool for shaping legs or slats. For foresters or stove owners, it is the fastest way to debark tree trunks, which helps the wood dry faster and prevents insect infestations. The ability to remove very thin shavings gives you a degree of precision that cannot be achieved with an axe or saw.

Preferably place the wood in a planing horse or secure it firmly in a vice. Grasp both wooden handles and pull the blade toward you with the cutting edge facing you. By varying the angle of the blade, you can determine how deeply the blade cuts into the wood. For debarking, you can make larger strokes, while for fine shaping, use shorter, controlled movements. After use, it is advisable to rub the blade lightly with oil to protect the carbon steel from corrosion.

This drawknife is ideal for traditional woodworkers, restorers, builders of wooden structures, and DIY enthusiasts who swear by the quality of traditional hand tools.
