Eighth Round Knives

Eighth round knives produce a small 1/8" radius convex edge used on shoe mouldings, screen mould, glass bead, and delicate trim. Small radii leave no room for a dull edge, so precise grinding is essential for a clean, consistent profile.

Small profiles, exact radii

CGG Schmidt grinds eighth round knives from M2 high-speed steel to hold a keen edge through long runs in hardwoods and softwoods, with carbide-tipped options for MDF and laminates. Supplied as matched sets for corrugated or flat-back heads. Need a paired quarter round, bead, or shoe profile? We grind the full small-moulding range.
