Unknown makers mark on draw knife

Does this draw knife symbol look familiar to anyone? I stopped by a local estate sale and found an old Norlund Voyager axe head and he threw this draw knife into the deal as well.

Folding handles.   Nice!

I think it reads CLEANCUT , all one word. I believe that is a Trademark logo. Not sure if that is the the name of the maker. Nice finds, Lou

Don't know, but folding handles are nifty if you do much work with a drawknife in the field.  Hardly essential for one used in the shop, but always cool.

The handle attachment on that one looks like a knife I used to own, but moved on (too much rust, and the wood on one handle was gone, if I recall correctly).  But I can't recall the maker's name on that one.

Thanks Lou, that's it, CLEANCUT! I've never bought a draw knife, I didn't really want this one, I only wanted the axe head. But now I have a new tool to obsess over, find out where it was made, when it was made, how much was it when new, is it rare or common, etc, etc, etc....

Drawknives are really nifty tools - elemental, in the same way that axes are.  Once you learn to use one, you'll be amazed at what you can do in the field with one.

Do the handles have a large cut out notch for the blade?  I find that type very uncomfortable to use.  I would rather just have a regular drawknife with nice tight handles.  They are great for fitting handles on things.  I just made a glut out of applewood, and used one quite a bit on it.  I will have to post a pic.
