Robert Sorby 810 1/2-inch rectangular skew blade

When to choose it

Choose this bare rectangular skew blade if you need the narrower half-inch edge and already have a compatible handle setup. The unhandled construction makes the purchase different from a ready-to-use Sorby 810H.

Check the exact half-inch blade and the supported handle or adapter before ordering. The six-and-one-quarter-inch usable length is not the length of a complete handled skew.
