3" Hawkbill Carpet Knife, Carbon Steel

The R.Murphy® Hawkbill Carpet Knife – 3″ Blade is a rugged, purpose-built tool designed for precision cutting in a variety of installation and trades applications. Its hawk-bill shaped blade features a sharp, concave cutting edge that excels at slicing, trimming, and layering materials such as carpet, leather, rubber, plastics, and other tough surfaces where straight blades struggle.

The curved blade shape provides superior control — the inward arc keeps the material in contact with the cutting edge longer, making it easier to complete cuts with less effort and greater accuracy. The blunted spine allows your finger to guide the knife comfortably when needed, enhancing safety and stability on detailed tasks.

Crafted with a durable high-carbon steel blade and a hardwood pinned handle contoured to fit comfortably in your hand, this hawkbill carpet knife is balanced for frequent use and easy to sharpen when needed. Whether you’re installing flooring, trimming materials, or tackling general carpentry jobs, this tool brings professional performance to your workshop or job site.
