Dave's Shaves - No. 1 Tradition Spokeshave
This low-angle spokeshave from Dave's Shaves features a 2-3/4 in., high-carbon steel cutting edge which is 1/8 in. thick
Jul 01, 2006
Dave’s No. 1 Standard Tradition is a simple tool that simply works well. The shave came sharp and tuned just right. It worked well for cutting thick, aggressive shavings, such as those required for spindle work, but it also made fine finishing cuts with no problem. Even on end grain, it left a clean, almost polished, surface. The only negative about this shave is that to set the blade depth, you have to remove the blade to adjust the screw jacks, an inconvenient process.
