| Description : | The drawknife is brown and made of iron. It has a 8" cutting blade in the center with hand clearance on each side in a reverse curve. The iron tangs extend through wooden handles and are bent to prevent the handles from slipping off. The name "Weldon" is written in the center of the blade. This tool is referred to as a drawknife because it was pulled toward the body. Also called a shaving knife, it was used by a Cooper for many tasks. Sitting on a shaving horse or bench the cooper would smooth and trim shingles, peel strips of saplings for hoops, peel splint wood for baskets, etc. |
