Scrapers?

Straight edges?

Tearing/cutting edges for paper goods dispensers?

Marking knives?

[Ben Grunow]

plane irons? prolly too hard but I dont know.

fishing weights

shims for machines on crooked shop floor

blade for home made square

[John Shuk]

Maybe a turning tool.

My dad made a whole series of turning tools from old Parks planer knives. He didn't remove much of the edges, either, so (with my poor turning skills) I never used them.

I made a kraut cutter (mandolin) once from a 6" jointer knife.
