LYONS KNIVES
Dave Lyons, maker of the famous Lyons Knives is now making two knives using the blade design developed by the WOOD BEE CARVER. Each blade is fashioned in a beautiful handle distinctive of a Lyons Knife. The handle fits comfortably in the cradle of the palm of the hand and fingers to allow for long periods of carving activity and can be easily rotated in the hand for guiding the cutting edge with cuts upside down, sideways or right side up. WBC-1 is the smaller version of a scimitar blade with an extended tang to allow for longer reach of the cutting edge as well as a place for the index finger to wrap around for close up detail carving. WBC – 2 is a larger scimitar blade with an extended tang for longer reach and use of entire blade. Both blades are designed for slicing cuts in a push stroke and a pull stroke.
