The Inshave is typically used for working convex surfaces such as when scooping out bowls or chairseats after an adze has been used. Please note that if you intend to use this tool for scooping out a flat board without first using an adze, you will need to regrind and lengthen the existing bevel. Sometimes called a Scorp, this Inshave is hand forged out of the highest quality German steel by "Iltis Oxhead", one of the oldest German tool companies with a toolmaking tradition dating back to 1781. The cutting edge of the blade measures approximately 7" long and 1 3/8" wide. To make for a strong and secure attachment, the tangs extend fully through the beech handles which are angled slightly outwards for improved leverage and control. This Inshave has been made in Germany. Also Available:

Iltis Oxhead
The trade mark of the company Oxhead ("Ochsenkopf") is one of the oldest in the tool industry of Germany's Bergishen Land, home of some of the most internationally renowned German tool makers and located in towns such as Solingen, Wuppertal and Remscheid. The name Oxhead was originally listed on the registration roll of trade marks on June 2, 1781. Since this time the name Oxhead has become synonymous with high-quality tools being used in forestry and old fashioned carpentry. The use of only the best-quality steel and crafting by experienced toolmakers, combined with a rigourous and consistent quality control have enabled Iltis Oxhead to gain a world-wide following and appreciation amongst serious users of log building, timber framing and forestry tools.
