Yes Rich, it is still a go to tool.
The draw knife is my old one.
Its marked I Sorby, and when I looked it up, it Seees to belong 1798 -1818 or some such.
It has an H for our surname , (Hare) and has been in the family a long time.
Our "new" Robert Sorby drawknife is a 1917. Compared, there isn't much left of the old one, but I used it as much as the "new" one.
Interesting the handles on the old one are dressed up like crude acorns.
