German-manufactured Kunz quality -- among the most precisely machined cast spokeshave bodies available

Pros

  • German-manufactured Kunz quality -- among the most precisely machined cast spokeshave bodies available
  • Half-round sole handles both convex and gently concave curves
  • Tw in brass thumbscrews provide independent depth adjustment at each end of the blade
  • A step up from basic Stanley-pattern spokeshaves for chair makers and instrument builders

Cons

  • Higher price than basic Stanley-pattern alternatives
  • Half-round sole is a compromise -- dedicated flat and curved soles still outperform on their respective curves
