See more Review: Great tool for precision wood shaving - This is a fantastic little tool for cutting away thin layers with control and precision. For me, an amateur woodworker, I found this spokeshave to be much much easier to use and adjust than my block plane! The spokeshave can get in close to areas due to its short fore and aft dimensions, and the small surface area surrounding the blade allows for more control from the operator as to where shavings begin and end. It seems to have the perfect amount of flat surface area for making both long even cuts as well as shorter more precise cuts without chunking. If I had to make a perfect cut at a precise depth for the entire length of a board I would probably use the block plane...but for everything else I much prefer this spokeshave - it gives YOU the control, like an artist I suppose, where as a block plane mostly controls the cut for you and can be clunky doing anything that isn't square. The cutting edge came quite sharp from the factory, that is to say VERY sharp, although I'm sure if you're a pro you could probably sharpen it more...but I left it as is and it's working great. I'm getting thin cuts at all lengths of pull, without chunking, and only very rarely skipping which I believe is do to my technique over different anomalies in the wood I'm working. I found that an occasional shaving will curl around the cutting surface and prevent the blade from taking a new cut on the next stroke, but it's quite simple to become familiar with this and simply pulling off the shavings that curl around and don't fall free. Adjusting the spokeshave is very simple - two knobs control the depth of the blade, one for left and right side one for the right side the blade, and a central screw adjusts the pressure of the single plate holding the blade in place. I'm using the spokeshave to thin and adjust the limbs of a red oak board bow and it is the best tool I've found for the job - I'm able to take long even strokes that peeling in one continuous piece from the fadeouts at the handle all the way to the limb tip if desired, or alternatively shorter more precise strokes in any one particular area that needs to be thinned (which is something I found difficult or nearly impossible to do with the block plane.) The cuts leave a perfectly smooth finish that is pretty satisfying. Also, if you were so inclined you could easily use this spokeshave more like a miniature draw knife - to remove lots of wood in a hurry while still having more finess than an actual draw knife, although I can't vouch for the longevity of the cutting edge for bulk wood removal... I have had a smidgeon of green paint rub off on the lighter red oak, but typically these areas will be thinned further or sanded later, so it's not an issue. The paint rub off certainly isn't a huge problem, it's only very slight. Review: Well made, 4-star woodworking tool - This spokeshave is exactly what I was hoping for when I ordered it: a well made tool with only minor, mostly cosmetic shortcomings. After reading a lot of reviews, I opted to go with the slightly more expensive, German manufactured spokeshave that would mimic the engineering of the old Stanley tools, and not just their appearance. What you get out of the packing is a usable, flat soled spokeshave, that is ready for carpentry. Everything works. The adjusters spin and engage with the blade properly, and the cap engages and holds the blade securely during operation. The casting looks good, and the throat is reasonably tight. Both the blade and cap appear to have had some lapping at the factory, so they have a good, positive fit. Even without sharpening and tuning, this spokeshave can be easily adjusted to take a nice paper-thin shaving. Where this spokeshave loses one star is on overall finishing. Compared with tools from a high-end maker like Lie-Nielsen, the machining on the Kunz tool appears rough, and the overall fit of the cap, blade, and adjusters feels a bit sloppy. Of course the L-N Boggs Flat Spokeshave costs 4x more than this tool from Kunz, and none of the issues impact the actual performance of the tool. With a little bit of lapping and sharpening, the machining marks can be eased, and the tool should work well for decades, just like the old Stanley spokeshave that it is based on. ## Features - Country of Origin:China - Package length:3.0" - Package width:13.0" - Package height:2.0" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CD1MVQ | | Base Material | Cast Iron | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #321,835 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #80 in Smoothing Planes | | Brand | Robert Larson | | Color | Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (323) | | Date First Available | January 1, 2008 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00744391101013 | | Included Components | step stools | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 12.3 ounces | | Item model number | 580-1000 | | Manufacturer | Robert Larson Co | | Material | Hardened Steel and Cast Iron | | Part Number | 580-1000 | | Power Source | [Manual] | | Product Dimensions | 3 x 12.75 x 1.5 inches | | Size | Pack of 1 | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 723434000636 785533748352 744391101013 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Robert Larson - **Color:** Green - **Material:** Hardened Steel and Cast Iron - **Power Source:** [Manual] - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![580-1000 Kunz 151 Flat Spokeshave - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CzCj6ckJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tool for precision wood shaving *by J***N on November 10, 2019* This is a fantastic little tool for cutting away thin layers with control and precision.

It was fairly easy to flatten the back of the blade, and to hone a 5 degree micro bevel on to the 25 degree primary bevel. Overall the blade seems to be made out of decent tool steel that holds an edge well. It also took about 10 minutes to lap and polish the sole. The mouth opening is a little large for detail work. A set of shims to tighten the mouth would have been a nice addition. I've been using the shave on oak, and it performs very well - as long as you're taking light cuts and cutting with the grain. It will chatter if you take too deep of a cut, or cut against the grain. A good little tool for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Robert Larson 580-1000 Kunz 151 Flat Spokeshave - Robert Larson 580-1050 Kunz Round Bottom Spokeshave - KUNZ Spokeshave, Half Round --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10727442-580-1000-kunz-151-flat-spokeshave](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10727442-580-1000-kunz-151-flat-spokeshave) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
