Nice score.  I like finding old draw knives with busted up handles and then just put antler handles on them.  Often can get them for cheapwhen the handles are falling apart. You did good

 Nice find! I passed up a box with 16 old Draw Knives for a $100 at the Flea Market. Didn't really have the money and I didn't have time to trade or sale them.

  I use to pick them up at flea markets all the time for 5 or 10 dollors. I got 9 now I guess peoples wathed AMERICAN PICKERS to much now you can't get one around here for less than 50 dollors.
 I guess files hav'nt caught on much. I still pick up old files for dollor or two. I keep and use the good ones make knives from the rest. I can't beleive the prices on anything old. I missed the boat on that one. 5,6 Years ago things I could have got for 20.00 is 150.00 or 200.00 now.
  MULLET those anter handles sure be hard on the hands.
  Nice finds.

Not really, I use this small draw knife to work little sections and removing thin strips, cleaning up around knots. It has a good grip for delicate work.

I like the angle of the handles, look's ergonomically perfect, Bub
