A drawknife is a woodworking tool used to shape wood. It consists of two handles with a narrow blade in between. The handles may be inline with the blade or offset. Although it is called a drawknife, it can also be used with a push-stroke. The blade is sharpened with a chisel grind. Large sizes can be used to dress logs, and small sizes for carving and shaving. It can be used to remove large slices of wood, or can shave like a plane. Since the blade is narrow, it can be used on concave or convex curves. A Spokeshave is used instead for more controlled cuts.
