Drawknives, Inshaves & Scorps

These edge tools are made by Auriou Toolworks, Robert Sorby, Ray Iles, Gransfors Bruks, Pfeil and Flexcut.
Each is different and you must chose which best suits your purpose. If you need to strip bark from a large log then the Gransfors Bruks drawknife is the perfect beast for that particular job. The Auriou drawknives are made using old blacksmithing techniques and follow patterns of old designs.

An inshave is a bent drawknife, so you can hollow out and a scorp is a fully circular blade with a single handle.

There are dozens of designs for drawknives and they are suited to particular crafts, e,g cooper, chairmaker, loghome builder, longbow maker etc. Salaman's Dictionary of Tools describes them all with line drawing illustrations. This great bible for hand tools should be in any hand tool enthusiasts library. It is to be found in our book section.
Inshave (Scorp) Ref: RIS

Steamed beech handles with brass ferrules. This tool is basically a semi circular drawknife with an 8" blade.

NEW - Auriou 9" Curved Draw Knife Ref: AU-DK9

Auriou's high quality, hand-forged tools are well known to discerning woodworkers, Famous for their hand stitched rasps and rifflers Auriou are using their small team of highly skilled artisans to produce a small range of tools to balance their portfolio of tools. Launched in autumn 2010 this large, curved-blade draw knife is sure to become a favourite in green woodworking circles.

The 9" long curved blade has a gentle radius and an effective blade angle that gives fast, controlled cutting. Turned 5" French walnut handles with brass ferrules are spaced 13½" apart. There is a slight splay to the handles (about 8 degrees) which makes the action of drawing the knife toward you more comfortable (of course there are dozens of views on this but based on feedback received on their prototypes and the study of old designs Auriou decided this was the best compromise). The draw knife comes honed and ready for use. Weight 0.5 kgs (1.2 lbs).

Hand forged at Forge de Saint Juery, France, home of Auriou Toolworks.

Also available is a hand made quality leather protective sheath to protect you, your friends and the cutting edge from damage. This superior quality (genuinely) sheath is made by Kate Langley Jones from Essex.
