BE SHARP AND NEVER DULL ~ 3

“Be Sharp and Never Dull” is a description of the Wood Bee Carver’s journey of expanding the wood carving journey with the side track aspect of carving related to carving knives, primarily the design and development of “Other Knives” for personal use. Learning to sharpen as well a reshape a blade for personal use has […]

BE SHARP AND NEVER DULL ~ 2

Fifty years ago when I began carving seriously. I began using the knife as the carving tool by harking back to boyhood days of whittling with a pocket knife. At that time there was no readily available source for carving tools other than mail order catalogs. There were few carving clubs, nor few shows, nor […]

Comment by Brian Martin on January 5, 2014 at 11:31: Beutiful knives JJ and Roy!!!

Comment by J.J. Smith III on January 3, 2014 at 22:22: You must have been real good, Roy. Santa only brought me 1 whittler.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on January 3, 2014 at 22:15: I've got a couple of big whittlers also, Paul. I like the whittler pattern...just don't try to actually use them. Biggest one I use for general use is a RR Big Whittler. Measures in at 4 1/2 inches.

Comment by Roy Smith on January 3, 2014 at 21:23: Santa was good to me this year. A good looking Seahorse and a collector's edition Buck Creek Whittler. These won't be going out to the shop for sure.

Comment by Paul Evans on January 2, 2014 at 3:58: I collect the large 5 1/4" whittlers but rarely use them. I was just checking interest level.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on December 31, 2013 at 12:43: I like using slip joint whittlers (Seahorse) instead of carving knives because you can keep them with you most everywhere you go. I like the big whittlers, not as whittling knives but as a general user. They're just too big for serious whittlin.
JMHO...

Comment by Howard P Reynolds on December 31, 2013 at 12:08: Paul,

I am not a professional whittler. I'm not even what you might call a novice whittler. I took one class at the Case event. At 5+ inches closed, the main blade of the Bulldog Anglo Saxon seems a bit big to whittle. Also, while scouting around the Internet for whittlers (whittler folders) I noticed that most (all?) dedicated whittlers - wood handled whittler sets, had short blades, shorter than "whittler" knives from W.R. Case, GEC, Queen, etc.
