		That is an incannel bevel; it is used for deep scup carving,
easier than reversing the blade

				Hey Gang,

				At our weekly Erie Canal Woodcarvers meeting
last night a friend brought these tools to show me.  They belonged to a
deceased uncle who was a cabinet maker and they were offered to him.  Not
"weird" enough for a "whatzit", but thought they'd be interesting to
everyone.  The blades are interchangeable with a system I've never seen
before. The end off the handle shaft is tapered and fits into a tapered hole
at the base of each blade in the same way a violin tuning peg fits into the
tuning box of a violin.  Surprisingly solid and easy to undo when needed.
The "weird" part about this set is that the bevel on all the edges is on the
inside.  Is this because they were used by a cabinet maker?  Harold and I
saw this done on a "V" tool at an antique tool booth and thought it was just
an "inside" joke for woodcarvers. <G>
