Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 22, 2016 at 8:48: 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...

Comment by Michael Squier on March 22, 2016 at 8:22: 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.

Comment by Jan Carter on March 21, 2016 at 21:44: 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

Comment by Ron Cooper on March 21, 2016 at 20:20: Does that knife hold a fairly decent edge, Michael?

Nice job on the horses, too! Now you need a corral to put them in.

Comment by Jan Carter on March 21, 2016 at 17:55: Love the horses Michael!

Comment by J.J. Smith III on March 21, 2016 at 16:23: Really like the Scandinavian stlyed horses, Michael. Good job.

Comment by Michael Squier on March 21, 2016 at 13:35: I got this Mora Frost carving knife last november and here are a few scandanavian style Dala horses im carving with it. I really like this knife amd its fairly imexpensive, about $25 .

Comment by J.J. Smith III on December 21, 2015 at 13:13: 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.

Comment by Jan Carter on December 21, 2015 at 12:18: 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...

Comment by John Bamford on December 21, 2015 at 10:44: 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 .
