Just a note or two.  Having a handful of wooden scrubs, be prepared to add
a hand grip under the blade, to prevent jamming the web of your hand.  I

My Knight scrub was a custom order, and I should have gotten it made as a

The Pinie I picked up fresh at retail, cheap, just a bit of sanding to make
