Help with drawknife id
Hi guys
Anyone know what make of drawknife this is? Kinda looks like a sorby but I'm not sure. I'ts an online auction so I can't check for markings or anything and the seller only uploaded this one image.

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.
Regards

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

Looks like someone used it for a froe!
She's still got plenty of blade yet, sharpen her up and shave some wood."Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen."
