Product details
Von Trott 40mm Detail Knife
When the bulk of the carving is done, this is where the work really begins.
The 40mm detail knife from Peter Trott is made for those final passes — the ones that define lines, clean up transitions, and bring a piece together.
Hand forged here in Australia, this is a small blade with a very clear purpose: precision, control, and clean results.

A blade built for control
At 40mm, this knife sits in that sweet spot where it feels nimble without being fussy.
The shorter edge gives you more authority over the cut, especially when working into tighter curves or refining edges. The tip is responsive and easy to place, letting you follow a line without forcing it.
This isn’t about removing wood quickly — it’s about removing it cleanly.
Where it shines
This is where the knife really comes into its own.
Perfect for netsuke, small-scale carving, and any work where detail counts. It gives you the control needed to define fine features, sharpen lines, and work confidently in tight spaces.
It’s equally at home refining spoon carvings — softening transitions, cleaning up facets, and bringing surfaces together without leaving tear-out behind.
It’s the knife you reach for when things start to matter — when a heavy cut becomes a light one, and control takes over from speed.
Keeping it sharp
A knife like this doesn’t need much — just a bit of regular attention.
A stropping paddle with stropping compound will keep the edge keen and ready to go.
Stay on top of that and you’ll spend far less time going back to stones.
Made by someone who uses it
There’s no guesswork in these.
Pete’s tools come from time spent carving, not just making. The balance, the grind, the way the blade behaves in timber — it all reflects that experience.
It’s a knife that does exactly what you expect it to do, which is exactly what you want at this stage of the work.
The takeaway
If you’re chasing accuracy, fine detail, and control in tight spaces, this is a tool that earns its place pretty quickly.
Small blade.
Serious control.
Made for the details.
