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 […]

!!! .. Bet you did the happy dance .. !!!

I've a whopping 2 S&M .. my favorite being a humpback lockback whittler of their Premier series. I've a very nice leather purse for it. Still can't bring myself to carry or use it. Just .. one of those knives.

Congrats, JJ.

Comment by Ron Cooper on March 6, 2018 at 21:51: Boy, that is sweet, J.J.!

Those appear to be walnut scales topped-off with S&M's striking and unmistakeable Keystone shield...Beautiful, indeed! And a wharnie master, to boot! Yippy Skippy...Great score!

Congrats, my friend!

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 6, 2018 at 18:05: Picked up this beautiful Schatt & Morgan wharncliffe half whittler, at the Dalton show, this past weekend.

Comment by John Bamford on February 18, 2018 at 11:43: You are right JJ I collect a few burls that I find on trees, mostly Grey Alder around here. It isn't sensible because there tends to be so many faults inside them that Its no use planning on something just see what comes out ...if anything!

I only really persevere with this knife cos I paid good money for it, if I lost it then it wouldn't be replaced.

Comment by J.J. Smith III on February 18, 2018 at 11:34: Love the mushroom carving, John.

Sometimes it's the wood that determines the finished piece.

The only flexcut jack, that I own, is the whittling jack. Bought it to review.

Comment by John Bamford on February 18, 2018 at 7:11: I have been meaning to buy an Oar whittler for quite some time now, I have had the Flexcut for some years and have never liked it. As JJ say's they are ugly but to my mind, a far worse failing is that they are very uncomfortable in use. The other blades to the ones in use are always trying to make their way out of the frame and into my hand.

Having said I have been using it for a while now as I sometimes do a little whittling in my lunch break at work. I work on my own and inhabit an old van so no-one knows what I am up to.

No particular reason for whittling a couple of mushrooms with an oakleaf stuck to them as they emerge, just took my fancy. May get finished in another month or two of lunch breaks!
