EYEBALL A CARVED HEAD/FACE STUDY
“EYEBALL” is a term that implies taking a close look, an “eye to eye” look to see more than what at first appears as there is always something more that meets the eye. A carving exercise the Wood Bee Carver used when he taught carving classes was to carve a ball out of a square […]CARVE A STUDY STICK
Among the many ways to learn to carve, perhaps the best way is in doing the carving process for one’s self. At first it may be slow and tedious even challenging at times, but in the end the best and lasting lessons come in the doing. Of course, it is helpful to take classes in […]WOOD BEE CARVER ~ Sign

Re-shaped the blade, wharbcliffe style. i also put a filler of walnut in the handle to stop the blade from closing to far, now I can easily open it without the nail groove.

I did a bit of work on the no 6, shaped the blade on my small belt sander and it worked great and made a filler to keep the shorter blade from closing too far. You'll have to wait till tomorrow for a picture.

I think you made a good choice with the No. 6, Michael.

Ok, finaly got to the cheese shop and here is my new Opinel before hacking it up. I chose a number 6 because I like the small size and the logo stamp was further back on the blade so it wont be in the way of re shaping. The larger 7 or 8 may have been a better choice though as they have a thicker blade, oh well next time. The new 6 is posing next to my mod 80's number 8.

thanks John, im guessing its from early in the last century. It came out of a drawer of my dads and im sure he saved it from his dad who may even have kept it from his. Most pf my pocket knives came to me that way, some from tool box'sand some from old desk drawers that havent been emptied in my lifetime. my family throws out very little. and thats can be agood thing.

Michael, that Linden may be a fairly old knife---That style of lined pearl and sculpted bolsters was pretty popular in the early 1900's-- I have an Argyle Cutlery tuxedo pen circa 1910-1930 with the same style pearl-- Just saying
