This is a quality draw shave with an orange color coating that prevents rust and is easy tosee to prevent loss if you lay it down in the woods, job site and shop.The blade is a quality steel and is well sharpened. Pick up your shave and go to workthe first time you use it.Shape and size is just right for peeling new bark or wet seasoned bark from any tree.The handles are nice quality hardwood and the shape is outstanding.The orange rubber blade cover is easy to use and again the orange color will preventlosing it when you are using the shave.I do hundreds of pieces of wood with bark on to carve my woods men andthis wood shave is fun to do a hard task with.Rod Brewer -Maine
