This is no ordinary drawknife, somewhat smaller than usual and intended for work where more control is called for. This drawknife from Veritas has a blade made from PM-V11 steel and is designed for ease of use with maximum control. The teardrop-shaped handles are cocked at 45
Blades made from PM-V11 are highly resistant to dulling or damage from wear and impact. These blades take a keen edge and hold it through extended use. PM-V11 is as easy to sharpen using water stones or other common sharpening methods. Testing showed that a PM-V11 blade edge lasts at least twice as long in use as an A2 blade. Made in Canada.
