The two best are Sneeboer and de Wit.
Sneeboer were founded in 1913, but De Wit dates back to1898.
The 4th generation of De Wits now run the business; one is a trained wood turner, the other trained as a blacksmith.
Both Sneeboer and De Wit use traditional techniques, but different materials.
Sneeboer use stainless steel and de Wit use carbon steel.
Carbon Steel is naturally tougher than Stainless steel and is not prone to metal fatigue like Stainless Steel.De Wit burnish their steel.
This not only helps to protect it for longer but gives it a patina that blackens it - just like traditional English tools from the Edwardian era.All De Wit tools have turned hardwood handles of oiled Ash.
Ash is not only very strong but resists shock better than woods like oak or beech, which is why it is always used for Axe handles.The result is a beautiful tool to hold in the hand but rugged and durable.They feel so natural to use that they are like an extension of theperson that uses them.
These tools will give you a lifetime of use, until you hand them on.SizeHead: 16cm long x 7.5cm wide ( 6.25 x 3.25)Total Length: 30cm long (12)
