Flexcut 3/16 inch Right-Handed Scorp (Ash, Carbon Steel) FTCKN22

The Flexcut Right-Handed Scorp is the definitive solution for carvers who face the impossible task of hollowing out deep, narrow cavities where a traditional straight gouge simply cannot reach. Many artisans struggle to maintain a consistent depth when carving the interior of a spoon bowl or the undercuts of a decorative animal figure; the KN22 eliminates this hurdle with its unique right-angled geometry. This specialized profile allows for precision "pull-cuts" in confined spaces, giving you the mechanical advantage needed to clear wood from tight radii without damaging the surrounding detail.

In a detailed carving workflow, the 3/16 inch Scorp functions as a surgical instrument for interior stock removal. Forged from 1095 high-carbon spring steel and tempered to a robust Rc 59–61, the blade is designed to maintain a razor-sharp edge through dense hardwoods. The right-handed orientation is specifically engineered for a controlled pulling motion toward the body, allowing the user to pivot the tool within a hollow to create smooth, uniform surfaces. Because the tool features an ergonomic American Ash handle and a compact 5.25-inch chassis, it provides the high-tactile feedback necessary for sensing grain changes in blind spots, ensuring every pass is intentional and clean.
