Abegglen Detail Knives

Abegglen Detail Knives

We are not sure “why” but Pfeil knives come to us in a “needy situation”!  But don’t you worry because WE FINISH THE JOB FOR YOU!  We strop, polish and re-grind (if necessary) EVERY PFEIL SWISS MADE KNIFE before it leaves our shop.

Abegglen Detail Knives

The Abegglen are ready-to-use after we finish with them.  These are detail knives and have two cutting edges.  One side with round cutting edge and the other side with hollow cutting edge.  They will make deep cuts, but also great for letters and ornaments.

The 4″ shaft and smaller comfortable handle means you’ll be able to reach into hard to reach areas.  After a few minutes use, the Abegglen will become your favorite detail tool.  Like all Swiss made tools, these follow Pfeil’s legendary quality formula of the highest grade, hardened steel, polished and ground to a razor sharp edge.  Abegglen approximate blade widths: is 3/8″ for the small, ½” medium, ¾” large. Overall length is approximately 7-1/2″. Natural oil finished octagonal Acacia handle.

This special knife has two cutting edges, a rounded one on one side and a concave one on the other, which makes the tool extremely versatile.  It can be particularly useful where other carving tools fall short, in tight places, or for deep cuts, for example, for faces, hands, or feet. It is also very useful for ornamental carving and lettering.  The knife can be turned on either side, with the rounded edge or the concave edge facing right or left, as the work requires.
