Thinning out my spokeshaves, can’t remember where I got this one from but I’ve never used it or seen one like it. It doesn’t work as well as my others and so I’m assuming this is a cheap and pretty worthless but thought I’d post a photo to check it’s not of some note.

Looks to me like one from the C-cubed factory.

I have a Stanley one which is very much the same. The only unusual thing about your spokeshave is that it appears to be unbranded.

Cheap [country of origin] Crap.
I'd agree with everyone above - it looks very much like a generic Stanley 151 clone of indeterminate origin, unless you can find any particular identifying marks on it. That would certainly explain your observation that it doesn't work as well as the others.
