Pocket drawknife
One for the road
Once again a tool made by your own hands, to be used by your own hands, this time a pocket size drawknife, that will be my tour buddy, when I’m out there with my hammock, playing in nature, as a part of my tool set.
The post is from the blog: https://www.lumberjocks.com/mafe/blog/129652
Pictures:
1. The pocket draw knife.
2. Let’s make some noise.
3. Roughly shaped.
4. Forging the blade.
5. Quenching in oil.
6. Sharpening.
Hope this can inspire you to make your own tools.
Best thoughts,
MaFe

Great work. Now you just need a pocket sized shaving horse to go with it.

Talking of shaving horses. Is the one in these pics new? It doesn’t look like the original one you made.
Great job on the drawknife.

Hi guys,
Brit, Thank you. Andy you are sharp as always! Yes it’s a new shaving horse / spoon mule / saw bench i build. ;-) A foldable version, that can hang on a wall and easy brought in the car. (Will make a blog about it, I have even made drawing with sizes).
stefang, ha ha ha, yes perhaps a shaving unicorn… Thanks.
majuvla, I have become happy working with metal also now, it’s really rewarding, especially for a making tool nerd as me.
swirt, big smile here.
tyvekboy, thank you.
Druid, thanks.
Jim, smiles thanks.
Dave Polaschek, :-D Is that a pony then? A really small pony… Dwarf… Thanks.
Don, thank you. :-)
Best thoughts to all of you,
Mads

Thanks Lew, Yes it was not meant as show off, I thought I needed to show, so one could see it was not just a matter of opinion.
Smiles and all the best,

Nice to be able to easily pack to the outback and have a little something therapeutic to do when out camping. Great idea Mads.
