    Hey gang, I'm not a wood worker by any stretch, I'm a metal guy. My Father in law had these hanging when we cleaned out his house. I'm sure some of these are quite old because he was 90 when he passed. If anyone is interested in these, please PM me and we'll discuss.
    I know he was an avid Bow maker for 60 years and I'm sure he used some of these for that.
    I can tell you this, they are "VERY SHARP"!!!

    I have absolutely no use for them and would be lying if I said I did! :confused:
    I'd like to see them go to someone who would use/appreciate them and no better place then here! :)

    Right where I need to be.
    I would love to have them, but don't really have a use currently. Hope someone can actually put them to good use. They'd likely be ornamental for me...at least for now. The one with folding handles is really cool.

    Very nice gesture Dave. I have a few and I don't use them that much. Hopefully someone can use them. The top one looks like a Dunlap that I have.

    You can use em to shape spindles and things too. The one I’m using there is my grandfather’s.

    Nice tools Dave! :thumbs:

    I just bought a couple of them. I am sure someone will be able to use those. Especially those who mill wood.

    I use them for removing bark.

    I would love to have a curved one, if anyone backs out. I've used drawknives a lot, and they are very, very handy.

    I have wanted a drawknife, I make my own handles for shovels, and hammers and such.
