Draw Knives
« on: January 27, 2012, 10:29:26 pm »
I have a couple of 10 inch blade draw knives for trade. Top one is curved and does not have a 'bevel' like the second. it is more of a taper.
Bottom one is straight. I cleaned them both up.

I am looking for (in no particular order of preference): bow wood, knappables, cane shafting, stone points, sinew. If you have something else to trade, PM me. I am pretty open at this point.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

How many  whitetail leg tendons for the straight knife Bevan?

Thanks

Both knives are taken. I should be getting a couple more in the next few weeks.

Received my trade Drawknife from Bevan yesterday...



All I can say is, if this is Bevan's trade blade, the blades in his wood working kit must be true beauties!
I got the curved blade of the two shown.
The "Blemish" on the corner of the blade is hardly noticeable in person and shouldn't impact its ability to work well.
This blade is a beauty, no rust, Great handles, and the edge is near perfection!

I love it.
Now I have the urge to talk him out of another one...  >:D

Thank You Bevan!

I recieved the straight bladed draw knife from Bevan today. Same as Gus said...this knife is in excellent shape, no rust and way sharper than any draw knife I've owned. Hope I don'r cut a finger off with it!  ;D
