Ray Iles XL froe
Brand new to the market, this is the latest addition to our green
woodworking range. Designed for heavy duty work, the blade is 12" long and made from
chunky 60mm x 10mm EN45 spring steel, to withstand the twisting forces exerted on
it. Fully hardened and tempered.
The blade is ground tapered the full width of the blade, from top to bottom and the canal or cutting edge is rolled, like our premium froe. This helps it to glide through the wood, making it easier to use, particularly when entering the wood.
It comes with a substantial 17 1/2" beech shaft which fits snugly into the tapered socket and holds fast. The shaft has been treated with raw linseed oil which improves both the appearance and durability of the wood. (This can be enhanced by the addition of further coats every now and again).
The XL froe is available with or without the leather sheath.
