Add me to the list for older drawknives. I recently added another to my toolbox from a local antique store. It has adjustable handles. Pretty cool.... 8)
Oh and I am still younger than my drawknives... well, at least most of them. :)
Wow are they made of stone?

I'm still younger than my dknives too. When I pick one of them up to work on a bow,  I wish they could tell me about their history. I wonder about who owned them before me and how they were used.  Information that's lost forever. Jawge

To put the final word on this discussion I bought an old 8" drawknife this weekend.  The blade is straight and flat with a very sharp edge.  Stamped onto the blade is the trademark Witherby.
$23.00 Now I have to learn to use it.  Thanks to all the members who posted.

This is a neat one that just sold. I'm looking for one too. Found a handful at a antique junk store but none are in the shape I'm looking for.

I have that exact same Cantelo folding handle drawknife, it has a neat folding mechanism.  Its a little loose though and I don't use it.  I think I gave about what you got for yours.

That's a well invested $23.  I can't seem to find a drawknife in an antique store of flea market to save my life.  I have a sincere preference for antique tools, but I had to settle for a modern forged tool steel blade from Lee Valley Tools.  And I spent three times that amount...BEFORE shipping!

Count yourself lucky!  May she bring you years of joy.
