Superb Steve Knight Toolworks 3/8″ Skew‑Iron Dado Plane

Adjustable Fence • Specialty Beveled Sole • Purpleheart Body**

A superb Steve Knight Toolworks 3/8″ dado plane, built with a skewed iron and an adjustable fence, This example is made from purpleheart, giving it a striking, dense, and durable body with beautiful deep color and grain—one of the more uncommon woods Knight used for his specialty planes.

This appears to be one of Knight’s specialty variants, as the sole shows a slight bevel, giving the plane a more progressive entry into the cut. That subtle geometry helps reduce tear‑out and improves tracking in narrow dados, a hallmark of Knight’s small‑batch experimental designs.

The 3/8″ skew iron is sharp and ready for work, bedded solidly for smooth, positive cutting action. The adjustable fence operates cleanly, allowing accurate, repeatable dado placement.

A rare and highly functional small Knight plane—perfect for the user who appreciates boutique wooden tools or the collector looking for one of Knight’s more unusual purpleheart specialty builds.
