Members Ken Nelson Posted November 20, 2011 Members Report Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I have an opportunity to purchase an 8 1/4 wide Krebs splitter in pretty good condition. It needs the blade ground by a professional as it has been butchered by someone who didn't know what he was doing. Is the width unusual and could I get a ball park of what it might be worth. It is a little rough but could be made to look like new with a few hours of work. It has a Krebs name plate on it. Thanks. Ken Edited November 20, 2011 by Ken Nelson Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted November 20, 2011 Moderator Report Posted November 20, 2011 Ken, I have heard of them in different widths but have never had other than a +/- 8 inch blade. Cleaned up with a good blade it ought to be worth $400-500 in sort of average condition.. I have never had two blades that interchange on a Krebs. I heard a while back that they just drilled them individually and didn't use a jig.
