The tools are Drake palm tools, they are made by a family in Washington State. Very fine tools if you are thinking about palm tools or carving knives.

 

[Rodney]

I haven't heard of them before. And I live in the state.

On the other hand there are some other high end tool makers here so I shouldn't be surprised.
