Before the advent of modern machinery, woodworkers relied on a simple tool called a draw knife, which has been in use since the Middle Ages. It is used by pulling it toward the body to peel, shape, or smooth wood. It has a straight or curved blade and two handles on the left and right. It is suitable for making frames, paddles, and canoe bodies. For small details, a spoon carving knife is used. This special carving knife is used for making spoons, curling, and miniature carvings. These tools are still mainstays for traditional craftsmen and hand-carving enthusiasts.
