If you look around you can find them in decent shape for good prices. The most typical problems are split wood on the handles and damage to the blade. Often problems with the blade can be ground out with a bit of work some good sharpening and I've hacked together some replacement handles for others. I use mine for ripping the bark off branches I'm using for making walking sticks and find them incredibly useful. I’ve bought a few of these at yard sales and through antique shops.

I looked at buying one and almost fell over at the prices I was seeing. Instead, I made one(continental style) out of an old lawn mower blade and some scrap wood for the handles. It's not pretty but it works and all it cost me was some time and some wear on a cutting and grinding wheel. Draw knives are great for trimming fence rails.
