This 8-inch bevel-down drawknife is great for bow making or any task where some heft to the tool can be advantageous.  This is also a good drawknife for cleaning up rough stock and roughing out curved objects, such as axe handles or table legs.
 
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.
