I seen a fleshing knife at a store it seemed real similar to a draw knife at 1/4 of the cost. The angle on the blade would have to be changed. Has anybody use them and what would the quality of the steel be?
I like my drawknives beveled or with a convex upper side. And you're right, the angle of the blade in relation to the handles are important. I don't know how anyone can use the straight blades for anything but scraping off rasp tracks.
A fleshing knife is not the same quality steel as a draw knife. My fleshing knifes can be filed very easy. Would dull quikly. Mark
Thanxs guys I am just a tight wad at heart. I will stick with a draw knife.
matter is right fleshing knife not made to sharpen so it's not harden steel problely not even steel.

Sorry it kept telling me it didn't post.
Thats great Roy I glad that I not the only one thats struggles. LOL. Now I'm saving for a good draw knife. Sucks being unenjoyed! Lots of time but hard to justify spending of money.
Twitch, have you looked on **** for a draw knife? The last time I looked, there was a ton of them on there, going for around $20-25. Just a thought...
Pac'em out,
that's where I got mine on ****
