I have a shop knife that a really use a lot and it is the most useful all around the shop. It is a paring knife style and the tang goes all the way through and has a flat screwdriver like end coming out of the but end. I think I bought this many years ago from Traditional Woodworking out of Texas but I do not think they are in business any more. If anyone recognizes this knife can you please tell me where I can get another one. Thanks in advance.
I googled traditional woodworker texas, and got a web site that said we moved.
The traditional woodworker web site did explain that they ceased operation in early 2017, and all inventory was purchased in may of 2017 by wood world of texas.
That is used in a dental laboratory. It is used when working with plaster. Ask your dentist or find a local dental lab.
They could order one for you. (They are inexpensive) They are actually not designed to be terribly sharp. The flat tang on the end is used to separate castings from molds or impressions.
edit: I just looked on Amazon. $6.00 with free shipping.
I had it's brother, it walked off a lot of years ago. Mine was an Opneil, today all I can find in the USA is the Opneil folding knife. If you knew someone across the pond, they could probably buy the complete line.
Today if I had to replace it I would look at Styri are a Ukranian company that makes a lot of carving tools, chisels, and other things you want to be sturdy, and really sharp. Super low prices due to differences in $$$$$$$ values. Nice folks, if they don't have it, they will make it, if you can explain it to them. Shipping happens about 2 to 3 weeks after order.
I love this community. This is one of several posts I have read where someone posts a picture of an obscure and/or specialized tool and someone responds (often the same day) with the correct answer.
I have been out of commission for a couple months but appreciate the help with this request. I will see if I can find it with the info provided so far. I am retired but busy so it is hard to be diligent at staying current here. Thank you all for helping out. I will let you know if I find it.
