Drawknives

Based on an antique Witherby design, available in two different styles: one with a slightly forward and downward curvature to the blade (like the original), and the other with a straight blade. Relief milled in the back for ease of sharpening.

Handles are positioned so the Drawknife can be used in both bevel up and bevel down positions. If your preference is to use the Drawknife exclusively in the bevel up or bevel down positions, the handles may be bent to achieve the optimum angle in relationship to the blade. Flat ground 25° bevel.

Maintenance:

Protect the blade of your Drawknife by oiling
or waxing it. Be very careful when applying coating near the
cutting edge. We recommend Camellia or Jojoba Oil, vegetable
oil based products. They are non-toxic, odor-free and easy to
use. Also, in our shop, we use a fine abrasive handblock to
remove any light surface oxide. Oils and abrasive handblocks
are available from us.

Guarantee:

Materials and workmanship are guaranteed for the life of your tool. Call for repairs or replacement parts. We are available for advice if you ever have a problem using your tool.
