Precise Products Draw Knife 10” Straight Draw Wood Shaver – Draw Knife Debarking Tool, Woodworking Tool Bark Removal Tool

Works amazing. I've been using it to strip pine logs that fell during hurricane Helene. That way some of the trees which broke or uprooted got some use other than just being chipped. And yes that is how they use the trees that come down during these storms. I made a raised garden out of a few and this helped me stripped the bark off without much problem. Although I do recommend if you're stripping pine bark wait for a month for the tar to settle otherwise you're not really getting all that bark off. Once I waited a month, I got everything debarked easily and quickly. I love the leather case that goes over the blade since it stops any accidental cutting when not using it or during storage it protects the blade to some degree. It's not going to keep the blade from rusting but it does allow you to carry it without concern for cutting yourself. And that's why I bought this particular one. I've used it now for two 10 ft, two 4 ft and seven 2 ft. I plan to continue to use it on the two feet as I am making them into benches for my fire pit (punishment for the tree that fell on the house because now they will have butts sitting on them), lol. I don't know how it compares to others on here because this was the first one I tried. The quality is very good, the blade is thick and so is the leather cover. I was very happy with what I received for the price. It's easy to use and easy to control because the handles fit your hands very well and feels substantial.

It has a very sharp blade and a good grip, ideal for detailed woodworking. Excellent quality and easy to handle.

comes with protective blade cover. could be sharper

Works well for debarking white spruce, which is all I’ve used it on so far. It’s obviously not a high-end, German or English hand made tool or anything of that nature, but it’s fine for the price. When the time comes, it should be easy to hone with a flap disc on an angle grinder. Good enough for peeling bark. I’m sure it could be sharpened even better if you wanted to use it for more of spokeshave type work, but if I were doing a lot of that, I’d just get a spokeshave. Having the scabbard included was a nice bonus.

It is very prone to rusting. The metal seems a bit soft, and it does not keep an edge for long. But a fully useable tool with comfortable handles.

This is a well made little woodworking tool. I used it for making a handle for my DIY mallet. It does especially well on soft woods like pine and cedar but it was able to do fairly well on my red oak handle as well. The blades edge retains a sharp edge for a long time so I havent had to sharpen it yet. I recommend this for beginner woodworkers.

Straight out of the box I noticed the beveled edge is so dull it's almost round. And the bevel is not ground straight. There is a dip in the bevel 2/3 of the way from the left side of the blade. I've honestly never had any blade come more dull out of the box than this one. Expect to spend several hours getting a proper edge on this blade. I can't speak to how well it holds an edge because I have used it once and I only gave it a quick sharpening. Other than that, the handles seem to be holding quite well, and the leather sheath is a nice touch. But I would give up the sheath in a heartbeat for the blade to come any sharper than it did. You get what you pay for. Update: after leaving an initial 3 stars I have changed to 1 star. After spending over an hour sharpening with quality sharpening stones, getting a halfway decent edge, and trying it again, the knife DOES NOT hold an edge whatsoever. After all that, less than 20 minutes of use has it as dull as it was out of the package. Extremely disappointed. Don't waste your money on this product.

The steel is excellent quality. The edge is super sharp. I love the leather case. It is a very high-quality tool. The results of using it are great. I would recommend!

Excellent knife

Es tal cual como dice en la descripción buena calidad me encanto

Seems to work really well. I had to laugh when the instructions say "Always cut away from your body..." A bit difficult when it's a draw knife and not a push knife.

Far too expensive for the quality you get

Took forever ( about 3 weeks) to arrive and I haven’t had chance to use it yet, it doesn’t feel like it’s got a sharp edge to it so I might have to try to sharpen it before use
