Sorby Drawknife Full Restoration - Ep.1

In this first episode, I remove the handles, clean off all the rust, and do a rough sharpening! This tool is well on its way!

L & H Sorby Information:
Parallel to the development of Robert Sorby and Sons was that of a separate and totally different company by the name of John Sorby and Sons which first appears as registered in the Wicker in 1797. John Sorby was the brother of Thomas and hence uncle of Robert. He too was engaged in the manufacture of edge tools, joiners tools, saws, sheep shears, files and followed the family tradition by being appointed Master Cutler in 1806. After his retirement his two sons, John and Henry, continued the business and started to use the trade mark “I & H Sorby”. (At that time there was no distinction between ‘J’ and ‘I’.)
