Does anyone know where to get a good draw knife? I have an old rusty one but it needs to retire.

Antique stores or flea markets are a good place to pick one up.  I see them on Craigslist sometimes.

I checked over at flea bay, 966 draw knives were listed, looks like $20 will get you one in pretty good shape.

The thing about draw knives is they come in a bunch of sizes, shapes and handle configurations.

I like a heavy, straight blade, with the handles on the same plane as the blade, others may prefer a curved blade.

If you buy one of the auction site, be sure it is the kind you like before you pick one out.
