Looks like you are having fun, making friends and picking up more tools. Excellent rehab on the knife, if I
were closer, I would offer to take some of the other items off your hands. Thank you for sharing.

Nice work Mads. I would gladly restore some old hand tools if they were available here, but after quite a few years I have failed to find any with the exception of some really bad looking wooden bodied planes that looked like they were made by farmers who probably got good use out of them a long time ago, but which were in such bad condition that they were not worth the effort of restoring them. There is probably more available in the east of the country, but not where I live.

Come on Mike. Everybody knows that Norway is so long and narrow that it only has a north and south, but no east and west. Sweden is only a stones throw from Bergen. :)

Great save on a very interesting tool!!( Hmmm just might come in handy for those tough fits in carving.) where about was this house on the harbor Mads ?

Good story to go with the tool.
You did a wonderful job bringing the tool back to usable condition and saving it from the scrap pile .
I love old tools that have a connection to a known previous owner and this should both of you smile .

Leave it to you to find someone with some old tools to get rid of. I can already see those things coming back to life in a future post. Nice work on restoring the spoon knife

Your post reminded me that I bought this some time ago without knowing what it was. Most people thought it might be a kitchen tool. I’m not so sure.
