Morakniv draw knife

Here’s my collection Eric, and the Morakniv was sure a welcome find. I was using some 3x5 Stanley cabinet scrapers for final tillering, and they were sure getting hard on my old fingers. The Morakniv draw knife has a very thin blade and being able to hold the handles while using has been a very welcome addition.

Man I need to step my game up and find some good ones. I have this little collection but only one has just the right bevel, curvature, and handle angle that I like to chase a ring. Are yall finding it takes a very specific type draw knife to chase rings?

The 3rd one up from the bottom was my dad’s. The rest were all found at various antique stores. I use the lower ones for bark/sapwood removal,.The top 2 seem to be my favorites for chasing rings and removing bulk belly wood. My new favorite for finesse work is the Morakniv.

I got mine at a garage sale, in a box of tools, just like my old 4in1 Keen Kutter rasp, many years ago. I kept them both and handed back the box of other tools so they could resell them.  At that time I didn't know that it was a drawknife, I used it as my scraper. It did a fantastic job as a scraper. Both tools are still in my go-to box.
