A drawknife is a woodworking tool used for shaping wood by pulling the blade towards oneself. It consists of a blade with handles on either end. The user grips the handles and pulls the blade along the wood to remove shavings. It's often used for rough shaping and removing large amounts of material. It's an older tool often favored by craftsmen for its control and efficiency. It's like a hand-powered wood scraper for shaping curves.
