If you look at the Svante Djarv Timber Drawknife with the bevel facing you, the blade is bent both towards you and downwards. This design results in a powerful and very well-balanced drawknife, allowing for use with straight wrists. It works well for debarking, making big shavings, and removing a significant amount of material in log building and timber framing. Additionally, it is effective for shaping the exteriors of items, for example, trays and troughs.
