Bowmaker's Mini Draw Knife

[Rick Marchand]

I was asked to make one of these a while back for a friend. This was the working prototype of a mini draw knife for a bow maker. I don't have pics of the finished piece, but it wasn't much different than this (forged from a file)... the sheath was a leather "tube" style.....

That's really great! Most drawknives are monstrous things that would be a bit of a challenge to work on something as precise as a bow.

What angle is the bevel?

 

[Rick Marchand]

The main bevel is convex.... but the secondary cutting edge is about 25deg.

Whew - I bet that thing is a hogger. High quality stuff - looks like good craftsmanship. Who made that for you Rick?

That would be a great little draw knife for all kinds of woods projects, and it's compact enough to bring along.

Nice! I was just using my way to large draw knife yesterday to show it to my son.

How does the edge preform? And what's the price range?
