The Draw Shave or Draw Knife is a hand tool used to remove bark from logs. The name was first used about 400 years ago. The tool it self is still used in the home today by wood workers craftsman and hobbyists.
The hand tools found at this website has ¼” thick x 1-15/16” wide blade 8” long with 25 Degree blade. The tool itself has a blade in the center with wood handles on both sides. The hand tool is pulled by hand toward the person using it. Other uses in the home might be for art to shave clay or wax as well as wood. These Tools are also used for pre shaping wood to be turned on a wood lathe.
The one at DMSeeleys tools has a polished blade with the real wood handles 17” across the handle tips at the widest point and comes with a rubber blade sheath.
On an interesting point I once had a buyer tell me he was going to make canes with his draw shave and sell them. Only the users will think of all the possible uses for these tools.
Best to your cuts.
