Wood Tamer TH85 Slöyd Knife — Designed by Timothy Henry, Forged by Strongway Tools

Meet your new favourite carving knife.

This is the TH85 Slöyd Knife, and it’s something really special. Designed by my incredibly talented friend Timothy Henry and hand-forged by the legends at Strongway Tools, this 85mm blade is the final piece in the Wood Tamer carving family — now standing proudly alongside our 680 Carving Axe and both our regular and long-handled hook knives.

It’s honestly an honour to have Tim’s design flying the Wood Tamer flag. He’s nailed the feel, balance, and performance — this knife just fits in your hand.


Here’s what makes the TH85 such a joy to carve with:

🔪 Blade That Just Flows
Tim's done something clever here — there’s a subtle belly to the blade that runs tip to heel, which means it glides through wood like a dream. The tip is nimble for tight turns, and the spine is rounded off so it’s super comfy for push cuts or when you’re choking up on the blade.

🛠️ Built to Last
Forged by Strongway from 52100 carbon steel, this knife holds an edge incredibly well. The bevel’s ground to a 25° inclusive angle, and it’s hardened to HRC 58–59 — tough enough to stand up to heavy use, sharp enough to slice clean and smooth.

🌳 Handle You’ll Actually Look Forward to Holding
The handle’s carved from rich, durable Blackwood and shaped to sit naturally in your hand. At 115mm long, with a nice, full shape, it’s designed for long sessions without wearing you out.

🧵 A Sheath That Matches the Knife
We’re including a stitched and glued 2mm leather sheath — because a tool this good deserves proper care when it’s not in use.
