To make it short - I love this tool and makes my hobby woodturning even more pleasing to me. The handle fits very good to my hands, the rounded sides of this skew move very easily on my toolrest and they are pleasing to my hands. I use it for spindle work to turn mainly apple, pear, walnut and ash with a bevel angle of approx. 25 degree and it holds its edge quite long. The thickness of this skew gives me a good feeling of stability using it either right- or left-handed. I use it for roughing as well as for finishing cuts and after regrinding it to a radius edge it works for me even on hollow forms (obviously they can’t be too tight) very well. At my lathe I use LEDs for lighting while turning. In my opinion the surface finish of this skew works really good with these LEDs because the reflections aren’t too intensive to my eyes. I would buy this skew again.
