. Fig. 57 shows the position of the wheel knife in the hand when in use. The wheel knife shown in Fig. 58 has a short bevel, off-set steel bracket and maple handle.

It may be used on any depth straight edge, as it works on a long axle.

especially adapted for ceiling work. The knife has a fluted edge, so that it will not tear the paper.
