We offer three additional sizes: largest skew at 1-5/16” x 3/8” x 9" with a tang that fits a 5/8” handle receiver; 3/4" x 9/32” x 9" with a tang that fits a 1/2” receiver; and the detail skew at 1/2" x 1/4" x 8" with a tang that fits a 1/2" receiver. All are radiused on the heel-edge of the shank to slide easily across the tool rest. The long point edge is machined flat. The short point edge has a machine radius to facilitate rolling beads.

Great skew and came super sharp!! I've been making lots of rolling pins out of walnut and maple, was able to do the roughing and smoothing with the skew. Final finish was very smooth and only required a few minutes of sanding.

I purchased this skew because of its thickness and the composition of the steel. I love this skew. I sharpen it on a CBN wheel and then hone it on a Tormek leather wheel. It is fantastic. After honing, the cutting edge just lasts for a really long time and gives you a really refined surface.

Just started using a skew and wish I had started a long time ago. This tool came sharp and ready to go. As all of the D-Way tools come. I'm sold I only buy D-Way

I almost exclusively use skews. Nothing beats this for just about everything. Leaves great finish on the work.

The fit and finish of this product is perfect. The size, weight and shape of the skew are exactly what I have been looking for. This is definitely the first skew I reach for.

I started buying D-way tools shortly after I started turning and shortly after that I quit buying them any where else. Great designs, great steel and so sturdy - these curved skews are essential to my bowl making. I have all three sizes and use them all often. For inside transition from wall to floor, I can quickly make any speed bumps disappear. Well Done Sir!!!

An excellent and versatile tool. The folks at D-Way start with superb steel for turning tools and spend the extra time to get all of the details right. I own a larger and smaller skew from different makers; this is the one I reach for most every time.

Incredible quality, what a fantastic tool.

Good tools - are a joy to use. American made is another reason to choose them. I’ve never regretted buying a D-Way tool. I’ve spent a lot on others that I don’t use anymore.

Extremely pleased with a sharp cutting tool coupled with a video demonstration on how to properly use the tool. As said, practice, practice, practice, improves skills and turner confidence.
