What it does
Square point knife #2 with a wood handle and a 3" x 11/16" x .058" blade. At 11/16" it is the only numbered square point under 3/4" wide. The narrow blade reaches corners and channels that wider knives bridge.
How to use it
- Do not pry sideways with the blade. Lay it flat for a touch-up shave, with the edge slicing forward and out.
- Cut over scrap so the edge does not reach the board.
- Strop the blade often and stone it when stropping stops restoring it. Wipe it dry after damp work.

Common questions
What makes the #2 different from the other numbers?
Width. At 11/16" it is the only numbered square point under 3/4".
Why is it sold next to the skivers?
At a skived corner the long thin skiver cannot sit flat. The narrow #2 can, and it takes the last shaving and squares the edge.
Does the narrow blade make it weaker?
It is slightly less stiff sideways than a 3/4" blade. That is fine for cutting. Do not pry with it.
Rust and upkeep?
It is high-carbon steel. Hone it, strop it and wipe it dry after damp work.
