The DOLAN 400 Series Medium-Range trimming tools feature a high carbon knife steel trimming blade deep set and epoxy sealed into a oil/resin treated thin smooth hardwood handle. The heat-treated trimming blade is hand sharpened and will hold its edge even against heavily grogged clays. The handle is polished for comfort and oil sealed against water damage.

Dolan Tools are HAND MADE in the USA by now 3 generations of the Dolan family. They are of the highest quality hand made toold you will ever use. 

Dolan tools should be kept clean & dry when not in use. A light coat of oil should be applied to both the blade and wood handle periodically for longest life. To sharpen, DO NOT use a file or power grinder. Files are too coarse and a power grinder will heat the steel, change the temper and destroy the tool. Dolan recommends using a whetstone (oil or water) to quickly restore your tool's keen edge without damage to the steel.
