Bac Industries Inc TMB-08DS 8 Inch Straight Draw Shave Tool

Product Description

The BAC INDUSTRIES INC TMB-08DS is an 8-inch straight draw shave tool designed for removing bark and shaping wood by hand. The blade is constructed from heavy-duty steel with a hardness rating of HRC 30, ground to a 30-degree angle, and measures 5 millimeters thick. This geometry produces a clean, controlled shaving stroke that removes bark efficiently without gouging the underlying wood. The tool ships with a blade protector to preserve edge sharpness during storage and transport. Comfortable wood handles provide a secure two-handed grip during use. When the edge dulls, it can be restored with a standard sharpening stone.

The TMB-08DS is suited for woodworking and land-maintenance tasks in residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include debarking logs, preparing firewood, cleaning fence posts, and shaping stock for furniture and craft projects. The straight blade profile works well on relatively flat or gently curved surfaces. It is commonly used by woodworkers, homesteaders, timber framers, and contractors preparing rough-sawn or field-harvested material.
