Key Bullet Points for Your Description

• Genuine M2 High-Speed Steel (HSS): Forged from premium Sheffield steel that retains its razor-sharp cutting edge up to six times longer than standard carbon steel. It is highly resistant to heat softening during heavy-duty turning.
• Massive 1-1/4\" (32mm) Cutting Width: Designed specifically for \"hogging down\" and fast material removal on extra-large wood pieces and heavy-square blanks.
• Enhanced Safety Design: The deep U-shape profile allows the side walls (\"wings\") of the tool to sit well back from the rotating wood. This minimizes the risk of accidental catches or digging into the workpiece.
• Premium Ergonomic Ash Handle: Includes a massive 14\" seasoned English White Ash handle paired with a solid brass ferrule for superior control, vibration dampening, and lifelong durability.
• Generous Overall Reach: Features a 7\" long steel blade segment, giving the tool an overall length of approximately 21 inches for maximum leverage over the lathe tool rest.
• Made in Sheffield, England: Handcrafted by Robert Sorby, widely recognized by woodturners globally as the gold standard in specialized turning equipment.
