Make shallow palm gouges out of them instead....Much more comfortable in the hand than other longer ones I have, for carving caricatures, spoons, etc...Spade bits are everywhere and even when you buy them new, they're inexpensive...The steel is pretty good and can be oil hardened to at least 60Rc. so they hold their edge as well as commercially made carving tools.....
They could also be forged for a different, more severe sweep.The one with the straight handle is just made out of a small piece of 01 tool steel and the sweep ground out with a Foredom {but a Dremel will also work}..
Next in line to be made is a couple of hook knives out of some Damascus steel I already have...
