A little drawknife action with the BK9

[tradewater]

Used my birthday present to chop out a maul today (action shots as requested, thanks again, love it). Also wanted to show that the BK9 makes an outstanding drawknife.

Wow that is really cool looking. Thanks for sharing. What are you going to whomp with you your maul?

That is a very nice maul. And i never would have thought that you could use the BK9 as a draw knife. Very cool.

It's for a neighbor that wants to split some shingles with a froe.

It's a dandy drawknife. It's about as close to a do everything woods knife as you get.

It's basically a bigass baton to drive a froe into a billet to split out a wooden shingle like this:
