Gränsfors Swedish Drawknife 486

The Gränsfors Swedish Draw Knife is
forged into an arch and is meant to be used
with both hands for optimum effectiveness.
The Draw Knife is mainly for debarking
and shaping logs, and perhaps also dowels.
The protruding handles allow the user to
get plenty of power behind each stroke.
It is important to put your whole body
into the action, rather than just using your
arms. The knife glides over the timber,
with the angle adjusted by hand for the
desired planing effect. The Draw Knife
can also be angled more sharply for more
of a cutting action.
