I am looking for a blade source for the Miller Falls No. 1 Cigar Spoke Shave? I am in dire need of one. I ordered the spokeshave and It looked like the blade was there but when I received it it was not. The seller was not any help as they knew nothing of the tool. These thing are not easy to find.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Dave, this question came up in my mind after acquiring one of these. My thought if one is ever needed is it might be possible or necessary to make one from an old gouge.

A search on > Miller Falls No. 1 Cigar Spokeshave blade < did find a reference to someone who made blades > https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/millers-falls-cigar-spokeshave-1545510394

This suggested the blade was sold on ebay. You might set up a search there to notify you when one may be offered.

You might also try people like Patrick Leach > http://www.supertool.com/

Jim Bode and others may also be of help.

Try Michael Jenks of Just Plane Fun the parts division, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1690633051116716
He mostly deals in plane parts, but IIRC he has spoke shave parts too.

Contact St. James Bay, and see IF they will make you a couple blades...
