This drawknife is the model we recommend for chair making and/or spindle work (but not for contouring work!). The handles are cranked downward about 30 degrees from the blade, and the back of the blade is very slightly and evenly convexed from spine to edge so the cut is intuitive and the tool doesn't bite too aggressively.  

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 quality hardwood and the two handles will come from directly adjacent sections of a single piece of stock.  Particular 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.  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.
