DEF

an adjustable stop with a projecting knife or hook that holds a piece of work on the bench.

CONT

Blocking knife.... The blade is forged to an iron bar varying in length from 1 to 4 ft. This bar has a hook at one end, and a handle, often T-shaped, at the other. The hook engages with an eye-bolt fixed to a bench or stool to form a hinge. In operation, one hand holds the wood to be shaped, while the other, by moving the knife up and down, pares away the unwanted wood, using the bar as a lever. The longer [size]... is used by cloggers, brush, and by boot-last and boot-tree makers; the smaller sizes are used for shaping rake tines, tent pegs, wooden spoons, etc.

OBS

All the terms listed above, except "bench knife" are common to England.

OBS

Le découpage d'une billette, pour qu'elle s'adapte au pied humain, demande de l'habileté et de nombreux coups de lames différentes. L'avantage des couteaux à leviers utilisés pour ce découpage est que vous pouvez exercer un gros effort sur la lame tout en présentant le bois sous n'importe quel angle.
