KNIFE MODIFICATION ~ Redux

From time to time there comes an inner creative urge to the Wood Bee Carver to tinker again with making Other Knives for personal use utilizing rescued pocket knife blades. The process includes reshaping the blades into experimental shapes to enhance the Whittle-Carving experience as well as shaping the handles. Here is the latest results […]

3 CLOWNS

The three clowns of this carving project are a repeat performance of previously carved clowns of similar appearance. Each is carved from a six inch tall by an inch and half square block of basswood and finished with artist oil paint thinned with boiled linseed oil. Two of the clowns are based upon a similar […]

GRAY BEARD PIRATE

The visual image of this carved pirate has been carved several times as a red beard or black beard pirate. It only stands to reason in the imaginary world of pirate myth that there surely were old pirates who had weathered the seas of ancient history. Such is the reason for carving another […]

Comment by Michael Squier on March 11, 2015 at 8:34: JJ, Seahorse question for you. Whats the difference between as ground blade and polished blade, just the finish or is the as ground flat honed ? I like the as ground but it only comes in the caramel jigged bone and I like choices, lol.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 7, 2015 at 1:09: Michael, I took the "Rough Rider Challenge", some time back, and became a big fan.

I carry a RR whittler, as my every day walking around knife. Never had a Provo with their quality. Fit, finish and function have always been good. The blade steel is listed as 440A and I'd say is almost comparable to the CASE "True Sharp" steel.

On another forum, I'd tell folks that Rough Riders were perfect for someone that was wanting to try out different patterns. It's a lot easier justifying a $10-15.00 purchase than a $50-60.00 purchase, just to see if you like something.

If you haven't tried one, don't hesitate. SMKW guarantees it, so if it doesnt hold up, you can send it back.

Comment by Michael Squier on March 6, 2015 at 19:08: nice JJ, had simular thoughts. Are the Rough Riders quality as good as people say? They seem like bargains if so.

Comment by Jan Carter on March 6, 2015 at 18:59: Now thats not for peach pits?

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 6, 2015 at 18:43: Thought you'd like this one, Michael.

My modified Big Whittler...

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 6, 2015 at 17:55: Too big for whittling, but a nice knife if you like trapper sized knives.

Comment by Michael Squier on March 6, 2015 at 17:38: Rough Rider RR302 Big Whittler, does any one have one? looks like a decent large knife.

Comment by Michael Squier on March 4, 2015 at 6:15: these things are adictive, I cant stop googling whittler and admiring the huge variety of whittler knives.

Comment by tim payne on March 3, 2015 at 20:15: like the modifications you've made to your opinel #6 michael

Comment by Michael Squier on February 26, 2015 at 14:13: thanks, the inspiration came from JJ . I plan on a sanding and staining the handle just to give it a differnt look, that may take a few days though, stay tuned.
