Crook Knife Suppliers

[ChrisH]

Does anyone out there know of a supplier of crook knives as used in the construction of birch bark canoes and for other woodcraft?

I tried to find one on a recent canoe trip to Canada but without any success.

Any leads gratefully received.

Chris,

I have used Moose River Handcrafts, http:/home.earthlink.net/~mooseriverhandcrafts
Good service & good knife. Or, P. O. Box 205, Jackman, Maine 04945.

Also, I saw that Scott Barkdoll, Skywoods Canoe had some at the Assembly this summer. www.skywoodscanoes.com

Both of these companies advertise in WCHA's magazine, "Wooden Canoe" please support our generous advertisers.

If you want to make your own try a "google" search, I have seen the articles but cannot remember right now (a senior moment!) or you can get the blades already made up from Lee Valley Tools...just add the handle per the enclosed instructions.

Hope this helps,
