would anyone be interested in hand forged drawknives for trade
Tortoise:
if I started to forge (whacking away at metal) draw knives from med-high carbon steel would anyone be interested in trades for some?
since I am starting with forging and can't really work on bow stuff currently I figured these would be great little projects to begin with. (I would test them out on hardwoods to make sure they work well though, I wouldn't trade off junk)
If this is in the wrong place feel free to move also :D

i have forged a few draw knives (out of coil spring) and have found that it is best to find a draw knife you like and try to make one as close as possiple to it then use it on a couple bows then make another one and then adjust shape/grind angle/blade length and handle angle and try to make the ideal draw knife. i'm starting to think that it is better to have several different sizes/shapes of drawknives depenting on the project and grain character of the wood
