Hi Chaps
I bought this drawknife from Amazon
That is how it came, my first impressions where its very uncomfortable and lots of sharp edges, apart from the blade!
They did do a longer handled one, so I turned a couple of Cherry handles that are secured on like the originals with m6 bolts.
I had to run a diamond file over all the edges to remove the burrs.
It's now much better to use, it needs a higher angle of attack because of the back bevel but you can get used to it.
I removed all the bark to speed up the drying of these apple branches, because its not to long you can work on a large arc of the branch with out the handles getting in the way.
