Your cart is empty.The processing of iron has a long tradition in the Stubai Valley. The area iron mines were of such high quality that in the 14th century blacksmiths in Fulpmes were already producing hand tools. In 1897 engaged craftsmen formed a cooperative (marketed under the Stubai name) to manage the future for both production and sales. Today 26 member factories are processing several thousand tons of steel each year. The production program consists of a wide range of tools for professional users such as metal workers, woodworkers, woodcarvers, woodturners, forestry workers, auto mechanics, roofers, masons, tile setters, electricians and others. Our own forge manufactures products for our members and also semi-finished products for other industries in Austria and other European countries. Approximately half of the production is exported to more than 50 countries worldwide. The brand name "Stubai" stands for quality and workmanship. The Stubai Tool industry is the biggest hand tool manufacturer in Austria.

A+ drawknife. The quality of the blade is evident and works very well. The handle has been comfortable and held up well to a lot of rough use as well. I have peeled about 30 pine fence posts and a few oak gate posts as well. Have to sharpen it like any blade but its quality is evident in how it’s held up to my abuse. Not a lot more to say, it is as described and I think worth the extra money compared to cheaper alternatives.

If you have a need for it you won't be disappointed. Sharp, seems well constructed.

arrived nice and sharp and I used it for barking a big ol.' log and it worked quite nicely... and it is good steel. I will be able to use this for years, provided I don't leave it outside in the rain.

I like the draw knife it sharpens up well, comfortable. So over all A+ the only minor thing I would like to see changed is I wish it had a 90 degree spine as I use that sometimes. Was an easy thing to remedy with a file so I won’t deduct a star but I like having that 90 degree spine just to be able to easily remove a little material without having to change tools. But the quality is good enough for me and takes an edge so…. I believe it is made in Austria.

This is a nice sturdy forged drawknife with a slight convex edge in two directions. The cutting edge is slightly convex (further out in the middle) and the blade is slightly convex (can rock on the back slightly when on a flat surface. This configuration suits me fine and the knife works very well for me.Mine has handles that screw onto the forged blade rather than the tangs that bend off the blade and go through the handles. So that's a miss because what I received was not what was pictured.However I think it might actually suit me better because it makes the blade easier to sharpen by making the handles easy to remove and replace. Handles being in the way are a lot of what makes these challenging to sharpen.The handles are aligned with the blade (their axis is parallel to blade back). Again, this works fine for me because it's a good compromise when using the knife both bevel up and bevel down as I do.The forging is excellent, Teutonic manufacturing ethics are clearly apparent. The back cleaned up nicely on a 1000 grit stone because the grinding marks were fine. Polished up on a 6000 grit waterstone the edge takes a mirror finish and holds an extremely sharp edge much better than I would have expected. A polished edge leaves a very smooth, glistening surface on dry wood and is very satisfactory indeed. It cuts green wood like butter and is fully satisfactory on that count as well.Comes with a plastic slip-on edge guard that's worth keeping track of until you can sort out a sheath of some sort. Otherwise it's going to be dangerous to keep in a drawer or bag, risking cuts to yourself and other items as well as risking edge damage.Overall, excellent and an excellent value at the $43 I paid for it, I would definitely do it again and recommend. Definitely a much better option than the somewhat less expensive Chinese versions you see available next to it here on Amazon for maybe 3/4 the price. Those are just disappointment waiting to happen.

The handles are just bolted on. The item is not the same as it is advertised. It was supposed to be one solid piece. Again. Not as advertised

I used it to shave down an eight foot plank of macassar ebony. Worked beautifully. Lovely traditional draw knife.
