I have a lot of drawknives that I use and have one of these. It’s a good knife. I keep some sharp, mid sharp and somewhat dull for various work, especially on selfbows. What they said on that podcast regarding the backside bevel is true, but I have one that an old timer put a huge bevel on and for rough work it allows me to get a bite of wood and pop it off when I need to. I used to think the knife was ruined, but I figured out why it was modified. Definitely not a fine work knife but very useful.Axe that I got from my grandpa that I rehandled back in 2022. Posted it in the Wood working thread. Was recently doing some linseed on the handle but no pics of that. Walnut wedge.
