Title: A good day at the auction barn.
Post by: KShip85 on January 01, 2013, 04:12:23 pm: Decided I was going to hit up an auction this morning and I'm glad I did. Scored four draw knives and what looks to be a 24" old saw mill blade that's about 1/8" thick. All for $50...not too bad compared to the local flea market/antique mall.

Scout, you know I was thinking the same thing. Curious if any of these old knives have already got a few bows under their belt.

Adam, yeah I was psyched about it. Really glad I decided to go. Too bad the old anvil they had went out of my price range.

Fred, normally I might think it too early to part with a new toy, but it just so happens I think I have one pretty similar that I inherited from my wife's grandpa so I might be willing to part with this ;). Have to think it over though.

Tracy, haha thanks, I wasn't aware that draw knives varied from right to left hand use.

I can tell Tracy's a handle kinda guy. That was kinda like pickin a D cup out of a group of A's and B's.
