Palosanto French Skive
Palosanto French Skive
The French Skive (or French Edger) is a very versatile tool and Palosanto makes one of the best French Skives available on the market.
There are 5 different blade sizes: 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. The blades are very sharp and are made from HSS-M2 steel, so the blade will remain sharp for a long time.
A little repolishing kit is included, so you can easily polish the blade to keep it sharp even longer.
You have two choices for the handle. The handle from African black wood gives the tool a very refined and handsome look. The Bubinga handle is a little cheaper, the difference in price is only because of the different wood, the knifes and quality of the tools are exactly the same.
This is how the maker of the tools sharpens these French Skives: https://youtu.be/zt8vOxKpENc
