Need advice on a Draw Knife please

I have several used ones and interestingly each one feels different. The favorites for me are ones that have the handles about 10 degrees above the cutting edge, which works well for shaving walking sticks or making rustic chairs. I typically use my shaving horse or am standing at a vise doing the work.

You might want to look at some of the antique ones available at Sydnas Sloot. The prices are very reasonable. Several pros recommend old drawknives over their newer counterparts. The newer models often have a higher bevel that looks more like a chisel edge than a knife edge. I’ve got a turn-of-the-century one that works beautifully. The low bevel of the blade takes a great edge, and the inline handles give me more control for precise work than offset handles.
