Do you actually mean Scotch eye?
Scotch is a pattern for the cutting end and the Eye or T augers are the ones you stick a bit of wood through.

Decent details here...

I mean, its not that important but I read about people using Scotch Eyed Augers on here a lot and I'm not totally convinced they are Scotch patterned at all.

Eyed augers for sure These are made from modern power auger bits, but reground and sharpened to work better under human power than they would otherwise, as well as putting a ring on the end of course

I also make spoon augers in pretty much any size

I'll drop you a pm drektly
