Timber Tuff 8" Straight Wood Blade Draw Shave Knife Woodworking Tool, TMB-08DS

I read several reviews where people said their blade was dull and took a lot of work but I went ahead and made the purchase. Received mine In the mail and found that unlike others mine was very sharp. The blade did not need any extra work and it was ready to be used out of the box. Gave it a test run on some American Hornbeam and it worked flawlessly. I believe this is a good deal for what you are paying for and what you are receiving. Update: used this on some very rough reclaimed barn wood to make counter tops out of. Did a really good job scraping off the rough tops of the boards. Knife is good, I would recommend.

This draw knife was sharp right out of the box. It feels solid (no bending, handle twisting,etc.) and of good quality materials. I’m using it to debark and shape several different types of wood ranging from soft cedar to very hard osage orange. It works well drawing at any speed and with the bevel blade, depth of cut is easy to control. It handles shaving off knots, etc. which take a lot more force than simply shaving bark. It gets the job done. I have no doubts this tool will last and perform well.

Was not sharp out of the box. Took a little time with a stone and got a decent edge on it. Not thrilled with the paint on the non-beveled side of the blade. It leaves marks on the wood and fouls the stone when sharpening. Otherwise works pretty well once sharp.

Good product!

I picked this up because I needed a draw knife to remove the bark from 9 cedar logs that range from 8'-11' and 4"-8" in diameter. I want to get the bark off of them so they dry faster and didn't want to spend a bunch of money on a draw knife for this task. I got about 1/2 way through the first log and realized how dull it is, so I used my Ken Onion Work Sharp to put a good edge back on it. Then it started working pretty well, finished that log and 1 1/2 others, then it needed sharpening again. I've only got through 4 cedar logs that are pretty soft and already wish I would have spent a little more on a better draw knife. If you need something inexpensive to clean up a couple logs and don't mind sharpening, this is fine. Anything more than that, spend a little more money.

I was a little iffy about buying this because of some of the reviews, but I'm glad I bought it anyway. It came sort of semi-sharp like others have stated, but after only a few minutes sharpening, & tightening the nuts on the handles, it was good to go. I used it to scrape the bark off of more than a few logs. It held the edge and did a great job. I have used it daily for over a week and only touch up sharpen when I'm done for the day. I would highly recommend this draw knife.

Great buy it makes me mad that people here claim it isn't a good product because it look like it came straight out of the mill with no edge to it because all draw knifes come dull you have to sharpen them yourself for one, And for two mine came well packaged and when sharpened it held its edge for a 3-4 projects before filling out which isn't bad because each project takes a lot of use of this knife as I make wood crafted bows. I would definitely recommend As it is good quality for a Japanese knife, Though an authentic American draw knifes have the very best quality, This isn't bad

This draw knife is well built but will have to see how it holds up over time. It is pretty dull but I'm sure because of liability they aren't going to ship one with a razor edge. If you are crafty enough to use a draw knife I'm guessing you can sharpen one. Can't wait to give this one some exercise and see how the blade holds up. So far, so good.

Worked as expected, arrived good and sharp. By the looks of it keeping it sharp will be an exercise! Will probably buy a curved one next.

Llego con poco filo, pero nada que no se pueda solucionar. Muy comodo en su uso

Don't expect this to be sharp out of the box. The first thing I did was to remove the paint on the underside, and flatten it. Then I worked on the bevel. There were machine marks on it, but it didn't take a huge amount of work to get the underside and bevel flat and then polished using a strop. If you're buying a drawknife, you will need to know how to get a good edge on it, so I don't see any big problems with it not arriving sharp. Once sharpened, these are perfectly serviceable, and feel pretty good to use.

Pourquoi payer le double ailleurs. J'écorce rapidement et efficacement le pin et l'épinette avec cet outil malgré toute la gomme qui se colle à la lame. Toujours bien nettoyer et protéger contre la rouille avant de ranger car la lame faite d'acier a tendance à rouiller. Je recommande huile ordinaire ou WD-40.
