CA 1850 'F. WEED JN HELMER LOCKPORT' CURVED DRAW KNIFE

One of the oldest documented drawknives I have owned. Has a 7" curved cutting edge.  The spelling on HELMER may not be correct as it is hard to make out. Rare maker pre 1856 as I have found a reference to Weed having already left Lockport (NY) as of 1856 making this at least then 168 years old.

**All edge tools may need to be sharpened/honed before use**
