OTHER KNIFE REPAIR

“Other Knives” is a term coined by the Wood Bee Carver to name the carving knives made for personal use. In 2020 several of these knives were made for carving miniatures that required smaller blades. Salvaged blades from old pocket knives were used in the process of inserting a wire in the tang hole of […]

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 26, 2014 at 17:46: Cesar, generally a carpenters whittler has a coping blade as one of the secondaries. (Used to scribe lines on wood.)

Comment by Ron Cooper on March 26, 2014 at 17:08: Thanks, Cesar! I thought I recognized that box.

I, too, have some treasures stored in cigar boxes. But the biggest treasure of all would be a box full of those Romeo y Julieta's! Easily a few hundred dollars and illegal in the USA. *sigh*

Cheers, my friend!

Comment by Cesar Scavone on March 26, 2014 at 16:39: Yeah Ron! There is a Romeo y Julieta cigar box... I collect the boxes to be used as decorations in house or to keep some treasures!

Comment by Ron Cooper on March 26, 2014 at 16:19: Good show, Cesar!

But the thing that really caught my eye was the box of Cuban cigars (see-gars) that your Dwarf is sitting atop of.

Boy-o-boy! If I were still puffin' on stogies, like I used to do, I would be salivating over a box of 'good' Cuban smokes! Even though I quit smoking 10 years ago, that pic still had me daydreaming about the smoke from a Montecristo #2 Pirámide swirling around my head. Or, a Romeo y Julieta ~ Like I suspect that box is from? Ahhhhhhhhhhh...Good times!

I digress.

Nice work, my friend! On the whittling AND the knife you created!

Cheers!

Comment by Cesar Scavone on March 26, 2014 at 15:31: What is de difference between "Carpenter's Whittler" and "Craft Whittler" blades Brad?

Comment by Brad T. on March 26, 2014 at 15:22: Pat,

I have the same blade set-up on a vintage Queen knife I own. It is referred to as a "Carpenter's Whittler", as opposed to the common "craft whittler".
