solid ash, the overall length is 23 inches. Two interchangeable tips are
provided made using M-2 high speed steel for long time cutting between
sharpening. The hollowing tip is cut from a 1/4" rod about 1 1/2"
of

1" round scraper for finishing operation. A a fine diamond slip is
recommended for sharpening.
