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 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.
