Want to carve with a knife that sits precisely in your hand and cuts cleanly? The BeaverCraft C2 wood carving knife is a straight carving knife designed for control and precision when working wood. For bushcrafters, carvers and lovers of green woodwork, a good carving knife is the foundation of every project, from spoons and bowls to figures and everyday objects. With the straight 40 millimetre blade, you make both coarse and fine cuts, which makes the BeaverCraft C2 a versatile choice for the beginner and the experienced carver alike.
The BeaverCraft C2 wood carving knife has a total length of 165 millimetres, with a blade 40 millimetres long and 13 millimetres wide. These proportions make the knife ideally suited to general carving and detail work, where you shape the wood with short, controlled strokes. The straight blade is ideal for smoothing surfaces, making straight cuts and finishing off your carving. Thanks to its compact, manageable shape, you keep the knife well under control throughout every movement.
The 120 millimetre handle is made of ash wood, a species known for its sturdiness and comfortable grip. Ash has a beautiful, natural grain and sits comfortably in the hand, even during longer carving sessions. The ratio between the long handle and the relatively short blade provides plenty of control and good power transfer, so you work more precisely with less effort. That keeps carving relaxed and enjoyable, project after project.

What wood is the handle made of?
The 120 millimetre handle is made of ash wood, a species known for its sturdiness and comfortable grip. Ash has a beautiful, natural grain and sits comfortably in the hand, even during longer carving sessions. Treat the wooden handle with a little oil now and then to keep it in good condition.
Why does the handle-to-blade ratio matter?
The relatively long 120 millimetre handle combined with the short 40 millimetre blade provides plenty of control and good power transfer. That means you work more precisely with less effort and keep the knife stable throughout every movement. This is especially helpful for detail work and longer carving sessions.
How do I maintain the carving knife?
Keep the blade sharp with a strop or sharpening stone, as a sharp knife cuts more safely and precisely than a blunt one. Clean and dry the blade after use, and treat the wooden handle with oil now and then to prevent it from drying out. Store the knife dry to prevent rust and damage.
How do I keep the knife sharp?
A carving knife stays sharp best by stropping it regularly on a leather strop, optionally with polishing compound. For re-sharpening, use a fine sharpening stone or water stone. By maintaining the knife often and lightly rather than thoroughly now and then, the blade stays razor-sharp for a long time.
How do I work safely with a carving knife?
Always carve away from your body and keep your free hand and fingers out of the path of the blade. Work with controlled, short strokes and do not force the knife through the wood. A sharp knife requires less force and therefore gives more control, which reduces the risk of slipping.
Who is the BeaverCraft C2 suitable for?
The BeaverCraft C2 wood carving knife is ideal for bushcrafters, carvers and anyone who enjoys working with wood, from beginner to advanced. It is suited to a wide range of carving, from rough shaping to the fine finishing of your project. That makes it a versatile basic choice for your carving tools.
