Ten inches is a lot of blade! This size of drawknife is often requested by serious bowyers who do a lot of heavy stock removal. I do not recommend this large of a drawknife for finer work, such as making spoons or chairs.
I make drawknives to suit my own high standards of performance, ergonomics, and durability. They hold a good edge and sharpen easily.
Each drawknife is handmade by me. I do my best to achieve uniform specifications, but there may be up to a half inch discrepancy in the blade width and the overall width. Wood species for the handles will vary, but will always be a tough, dense hardwood such as ash, hickory, honey locust, pecan, or oak. Whatever the wood species, the two handles of a single drawknife will come from directly adjacent sections of a single piece of stock. Other handle species may be available upon request and at additional charge (contact us for more information).
I personally grind and hone every drawknife I offer. The video shows typical drawknife performance cutting dry hickory. Drawknives ship razor sharp, ready to work, and include a reusable plastic edge cover. A custom leather sheath is available as an option when purchasing.
