Woodworking Forum / Simmons Drawknife
« Last post by Yadda on April 13, 2025, 05:44:54 PM »I was looking around in a garage at an estate sale. At the bottom of a tote with garden tools was this Simmons, 8-inch folding draw knife. I carefully placed it in my bag. This is the first one I've seen in the wild. Some surface rust and maybe some light putting on the back, but the blade is in great shape.
I believe this is probably an E. C. Simmons rebrand of a Pexto manufactured tool. The 8 and Simmons imprints are in the same places as the Pexto branded draw knife. On addition, the handles are the same shape.

« Last post by Yadda on April 12, 2025, 10:16:22 AM »Yesterday's estate sale buy. The really cool item is the folding handle draw knife. Another neat buy is the partial set of Craftsman six point combination wrenches. Greenlee cable cutter, Diamond wire snips, two Vise-Grips, more screwdrivers I don't need, and lots of wrenches.
