Auriou Hand Forged Drawkinves
Auriou Toolworks at the Forge de Saint Juery in France is well known for their high quality hand-stitched rasps and rifflers which are produced by a small team of highly skilled artisans.
These drawknives are hand forged, shaped and sharpened. The drawknife you receive is sharp and ready to work, unlike lesser products which require a considerable level of effort. Quality hand forged drawknives are designed to have the handle angle adjusted for the most ergonomic and comfortable position. People of differing strength and shoulder width can readily make adjustments to suit their frame.
