BARKE Machine Knives

Planer knives built to last as long as your standards demand

BARKE has been a specialist in planer knives and turnblade systems for woodworking for over 70 years. Our goal: to provide you with the knife that perfectly fits your machine, your material, and your daily work — so you can focus on what matters: your craft. What distinguishes our BARKE knives from standard knives is the TriMetall technology: an innovative three-layer principle with HSS-M42 cutting edges, mirror-polished bevel, and a polished back bevel on the face of the knife, ensuring significantly longer tool life and a visibly smooth and cleaner planing finish. For joinery workshops, this means: fewer knife changes, less downtime, and consistently perfect surfaces. For sawmills, planing mills, and industrial operations, it means predictable knife costs and maximum runtime in continuous operation.
