Beaver Craft C14 Wood Whittling and Carving Detail Knife

When camp or bushcraft work calls for shaping small wooden parts, a broad cutting tool can be awkward. The Beaver Craft C14 is a detail knife for whittling thin layers, levelling surfaces and making careful cuts in wood.

Its narrow, sharp blade is made from hardened high-carbon steel and is suited to both soft and hard kinds of wood. The 60 mm cutting edge can reach into tighter areas. Its ashwood handle is shaped for a smooth grip, finished with natural linseed oil, and designed for use with either hand.

Where it fits in your kit

• Camp woodworking: shape small wooden items and components.
• Bushcraft projects: make fine cuts and level wooden surfaces.
• Home workshop: keep it with tools for detailed carving.
• Shed or woodstore: use it for careful woodwork where a larger blade is less precise.

Prep tips

• Store the knife securely with your woodworking tools, away from children and moisture.
• Practise controlled cuts on suitable scrap wood before relying on it for a project.
• Keep a suitable sharpening method with your workshop tools and check the edge before use.
• Use a stable work surface and keep your hands clear of the cutting path.
