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 Wall

Those Helvie knives sure look nice.
One aspect that I find appropriate is the downward tilt to the blade. One reason I favor the Seahorse Whittler is because of the downward tilt on the wharnie main blade...

Ron, it seems to hold an edge well. It was sharp when I got it so I left it as is and have not resharpened it yet. Its suposed to be a good laminated steel.
Jan, those Helvies look very nice and purposful.

The mora frost looks like it is comfy in hand. I just looked at these and am wondering it that grip looks as well thought out

Does that knife hold a fairly decent edge, Michael?
Nice job on the horses, too! Now you need a corral to put them in.

Sounds like a good class, DL. Realistically, you'll only need minimal tools;
Jan mentioned the kevlar gloves, GOOD choice.
John mentioned a strope, for my knives I use old belt blanks. I'm into saving cash also.
You'll only need one or two knives, for this, a basic carving (roughout) and a detail blade. Starting out, I'd go with a good fixed blade carving knife, though if you prefer a folding knife, Flexcut makes the Whittling Jack, which has both blades.

John,
Great way to recycle and save more money for knives!!
DLKG,
Kevlar-type cut resistant glove would be the most important type of equipment for me LOL. You might find this part of the group helpful
Make your own carving knife (fixed blade) less than one hour! Cheap...

I make my own strops Dead , the last and best so far I did in the last week or so .
I use leather rescued from old leather furniture that gets dumped in skips .
Soaked the leather in PVA to make it a little harder before I glued it to a piece of oak that was sitting in the shed . The strop was then coated in some 0.5 micron diamond strop paste .
