Timber Tuff10" Straight Wood Blade Draw Shave Knife Woodworking Tool, TMB-10S

Dislike The the handle offset. And the fact was not sharp. I dud like the size and weight.

Handles are wooden. Easy to use and replaceable if they break.

I am still getting used to how poorly told today are being delivered either factory dull (poorly sharpened) or improperly tempered to hold an edge. I am also surprised that the glue used to set the handle tines in the handles fails within a few uses… not enough reasons to send it back but certainly cause for wonder. This tool is used by middle school woodworkers and I am constantly vigilant about their safe use of tools.

I read some of the reviews for this draw knife and thought I was going to have to do a bit of work to get it doing what I wanted.It comes with the handles not attached, but they go on pretty easily. There is no blade guard so you need to be a bit careful if you store this in a tool box that you might blindly grab into.It is not razor sharp but it definitely has an edge. When using it on green wood, this thing seems to strip bark off easily. I use it in combination with a spoke-shave bench, something that is easy to build and I highly recommend. On green maple, this thing is a breeze to use. On green fir, its a bit more work, primarily because you get pine tar that is pretty sticky and needs to get cleaned off.I have included a couple of pics to see the scale of the blade and the shaving bench. You can see the shavings on the ground next to the shaving bench, and some of the wood I have been using the blade on (green maple saplings).

I was a little skeptical on how well one of these would work. I was even more skeptical considering this one was on the cheaper side of what is available out there. Now my use for this has been strictly as an amateur bowyer, but it has served its purpose beyond my expectation. Once you get used to using it, you find there is quite a range of versatility. You find different angles and levels of pressure you can apply to remove exactly how much wood you want to remove. You can also "use it backwards" as a scraper. I say use it backward because I don't know if that was an intended use at all or not. But if you turn the around you can scrape very small amounts of wood from your project for more minute wood removal which is how I use this half the time.I have also left this tool outside for several months now (under cover) and it still works like new. I am very impressed, so if you are in the market you have nothing to lose by choosing to purchase this. The price point is very reasonable and the quality is superb. I will buy another one when my current one is no longer serviceable (which I assume will be when I lose it, because I don't see it breaking or becoming unusable in the near future)

Longer handles would be better but not something I use everyday

If you don’t have tools on hand to sharpen this do not buy!! The tool comes non sharpened. I just took my grinder out and sharpened it up like you would lawn mower blades. After it was sharpened it works really well. Handles make it nice. I used to use a flat blade knife before. Defiantly makes it quicker, and easier with the dual handles. Takes little effort to scrape bark off of logs.

The draw knife is in perfect shape!

Great deal for the price, and it comes somewhat sharp. It only took me 5-10min to really make it really sharp. Perfect for small project or if you plan on using it from time to time. For $30, you really can't go wrong.My brother bought one from Lee Valley for twice the price and cant notice the difference (after I sharpened mine)

This is a great tool; I would recommend this..

Excellent product that debarked my logs perfectly. You need to sharpen it after considerable use but good blade and sturdy handles.

Realy sturdy and sharp

Just getting into log furniture building as a hobby, needed a draw knife. I put a good edge on it when it arrived, tried it on both green and dried ash, couldn't believe how well it worked. I didn't want to invest in a "professional" tool, for the price this fits my needs. Haven't used it enough to see how long it holds its edge for but that isn't a big concern for me.
