Ray Iles Gentleman's Drawknife is a small, fine tool by UK tool maker, Ray Iles. It's a lightweight drawknife designed for detailed work like shaping tenons. While it's great for precise tasks, it's also suitable for children to use with supervision. The drawknife has a single bevel, angled at about 30 degrees, and might need some final honing before first use.
This tool is best paired with a shave horse or similar holding device to maximise control during use. Proudly made in the UK by one of the country's leading toolmakers, Ray Iles Large Drawknife is a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and design.
