What Is Agood Vintage Draw Knife To Buy
- #1
I have a lot of experience whittling walking sticks with a pocket knife or cutting off the corners of larger turning projects with a saw. I've been interested in a draw knife for a while, which I imagine works similar to a spokeshave with more "hogging" ability.
I've looked at all kinds on the electric current marketplace and I've been a little disappointed in what I run into.
I'grand familiar with Narex steel, and information technology'southward decent but requires sharpening more often than some. With the bract of 5/viii width information technology doesn't seem like at that place'southward much longevity in that blade.
Ramelson didn't go great reviews and Veritas is super expensive- not to mention I don't feel similar there's much room for blade shrinkage over the sharpening life of the tool.
timber tuff is only heat treated to 30 HRC?? (For maximum edge retentiveness, the site says lol)
Crown is a little expensive and the reviews seem to bespeak information technology'south not what information technology should exist for the money.
I think I'd prefer handles roughly in the same airplane as the bract, though I don't care if they are 45*, 90* or parallel to the blade. Id like a straight blade and decent steel. I'd also like to not take to do a lot of bevel handling- grinding, honing or otherwise, though I always expect to put an edge on it.
so far, ox-head seems my best bet, but even those reviews aren't amazing.
looking for some pro tips here! Thank you in accelerate.

If he did, he did not mention them to me and I din't ask. When he told the story it actually surprised me as he was a rather quite fellow and rarely entered into conversations that were ongoing with the crowd that were there at the time.
