Thread: Help with drawknife id

Without seeing the markings it is impossable to say what brand. The other issue is without seeing the back of the blade you cant tell if it is badly pitted or not. You could ask the seller those questions.

You can get good Sorby ones for about $50 so dont pay too much

Thanks, asked him to take pics of the other side. I doubt the auction will reach $50, it's still sitting on 1 cent and ending in a couple hours, hopefully that's where it will stay.. Wishful thinking

I see the seller's added some more pictures, and whatever his day job is, it isn't photography

For the cost of postage, it's not a bad deal even if you just use it as an ornament - although the R50 for postage is probably R20 more than it'll cost him.

It's all yours - I try to avoid bidding on anything anyone else has bid on, I hate pushing up the costs

Turned out to be a C.T Skelton & Co Sheffield, got it for R45 (about $5)

Excellent! Now show us better pics.

Here are a few quick snaps I took this weekend:

Looks like someone used it for a froe!

She's still got plenty of blade yet, sharpen her up and shave some wood.
