New draw knife for fine/detail work(pics)

[TurtleCreek]

I wanted a smaller draw knife for fine/detail work and this is what DRon Knife made for me.  Lookin' forward to using this on some ERC.

Forgot to add, it's a 6 incher

That thing looks awesome!  Always wanted a small draw knife for the "in between rasp, and cabinet scraper" stage.

NICE!!!!!..... I bought a small one recently from North Bay Forge  ... a micro drawknife...  works slick taking down a ring

[Bevan R.]

I love my micro knives. I have several with 4" blades. They are so easy on the hands taking down that final ring.
Be careful though. I broke one of mine trying to take off more than I should at one time.

Del- I will get pics of the other side tonight and post em' for ya when I get home from work tonight
Bevan- thanks for the tip.  I plan on using this one for cleaning up the backs of staves after I take off the majority of wood with a bigger draw knife, I also thought a smaller one would be handy for working knots and imperfections in the stave
Nativenoo- it's not bounty:)

WoW!! That's a dandy...lol

I only wish I could have gotten a straighter hardened to tempered line on it,but its only an aesthetic issue! Glad your happy Creek!

[TurtleCreek]

Straighter line or not, this is one sweet draw knife.  It will take it's maiden voyage by trying to chase a ring on ERC because the top ring is damaged.

[DRon knife]

That will certainly be the test Creek,Erc has very tricky rings at times!

@ all others interested in a ring chaser,send me a PM and I will slate you for a DRon special,please note,its not that they take along time to make(about 2 days),its that its hard to acquire the steel. I am currently looking for a supplier(local)of some 1095. Creek and I thank you for the compliments..lol,Ron

[sadiejane]

DRon-have ya thought about using recycled steel-old files, lawnmower blades, leaf springs etc
theres bunches of good old steel laying about just waiting for someone like you to turn em into a sweet blade

[DRon knife]

Yes Sadie,I've made all of my knives from files,but I'm tired of looking for steel so I bought some 1095 from a steel supplier,no more guessing and no more searching just making
