In
1835 David Strasmann & Co. (Dastra) was founded in an old
timber-framed house
in Wuppertal-Ronsdorf, the heart of Germany’s tool-making industry.
Today, the sixth generation of the Strasmann family still creates the
finest handmade tools crafted to satisfy the needs of woodcarvers, sculptors
and woodworkers. From forging to grinding, hardening, and polishing
each tool goes through 32 stages to reach it's completion. Most of
the work is done by hand to ensure a level of quality equal to the
finest edge tools ever made. Dastra tools are guaranteed to hold a
razor sharp cutting edge even after extended use in the hardest
woods.
The tools listed below are full
size, professional carvers. The overall length averages 10" and each tool is fitted with an octagon hornbeam handle
sized in proportion to the blade. The blades are hardened to
Rc60-61 and are buffed to a satin finish. The profiles are
beautifully ground and polished by expert craftsmen so that each
tool
reflects a perfect balance of strength and grace.
In addition to the tools listed below Dastra also manufactures
spoon, long bent, back bent and fishtail profiles. Some sizes are in
stock, others must be special ordered.
