0 Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think what you are refering to was known as Sweedish augers back in the day. You may want to just go and buy a new auger for about $35.00 for a hand style they cut much faster that the old cup style.------------------en kala(I fish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 hunt4food Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 My dad had one of those old spoon augers. Jeez. What a workout! As far as I am concerned, if you traded it in along with 50 cents, it would be worth a cup of coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 cjent Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 You should check with your local sharpener expert. He/she might be able to put a new edge on it, cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rmh2o Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 You may want to check on hsolist. I have one that I picked up at a yard sale that is brand new in the box with the wood handle and a spring you hold onto in the middle that rotates but I wouldnt sell it.Is the spoon wore out or can it be sharpened.

0 Surface Tension Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 fishhunter88, Ask around at bait shops that offer blade exchange. If you have a shack and no power auger you'll need something that'll drill old holes. The spoon auger works. I keep my old 8" spoon auger around as a reminder of times past.
