Lee Valley has a new drawknife also, a carver’s drawknife that is a little larger than the spoon knife above yet smaller than a full-sized drawknife.

Lee Valley has had that small drawknife for quite a while in O1 steel and just started offering in PM-V11. I’ve owned the former for years and it’s a very nice detail knife.
Thanks.

Flexcut makes a 3" draw knife. The Gramercy looks like it would be uncomfortable after prolonged use. Only $31.00 from Amazon - less than half the price of the Gramercy. If I'm making spoons, I only use a draw knife for rough shaping. After that it's a spokeshave.

Well, I've made a spoon or two (thousand) using a standard draw knife for crude shape. Length is used to slice while drawing, so it's often nice to have. That said, I have set my

NB. Put your leather (or wooden) chest protector on when using your shaving bench and drawknife. Hope I never need it, but it stays on so I can anchor the rough-shaved piece against it when the Mora knife finishes the job.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

I showed that to my nephew who is really getting into spoon carving. His first comment was that the handles needed to be twisted around to make it practical for use. I kind of agree.
