My Dad brought this stuff to me today. He is cleaning out my Grandpa's old tool shed so he can tear it down. He found these tools and thought I might be able to use them.
2 draw knives, a curved drawknife that I think is for scooping out chair seats?, a stanley spoke shave, and a small lathe

Some horns for tip overlays, a saw blade for trade points, 2 wedges that would have really been handy this summer, and a throwing knife made from an old file. I don't know squat about throwing knives, but I stuck it in the side of the shed the 3 out of 4 tries. I guess it is balance pretty good.

I am going to take the drawknives and the spoke shave to work tonight so I can lightly sandblast them. They have some surface rust and 20 years of grime on them.

I think the curved drawknife is a coopers knife. for making barrels. I also see a monkey wrench.
Cool find! Even better because they are your Grandpa's stuff.

Nice stuff, Clint. Grampa's stuff will come in handy! 8)

Nice treasures! The "monkey" wrench is actually a Stilson wrench.
-
very very nice. your grandpa would probably be glad for you to have and use them.
and ive found that a good balance in a throwing knife goes a LOOOOONG way.
