Favorite Kind of Knives
I like tactical knives. I like knives that are built tough, have a fierce appearance, and will get the job done. I don't have a large collection yet, but it will be getting progressively bigger. I have faith in Spyderco to always send me good knives, after my last order with them.
Some companies I like:
*Spyderco
*Cold Steel
*Benchmade
*Kershaw
*SOG
*Victorinox
*KaBar

    I usually put a thin coat of clear finish to protect them, though iof you dont, they will develop a patina, from handeling much quicker.
    Here's another.    .

    Anthony,
    Roughing them out takes about 3-4 hours, with another couple, to finish it in total. Baskets, take about an hour.

    Just watch out for your fingers. The first time I tried to carve one, when I was a teenager, I cut my left index finger to the bone.

    YEP. Peach season is just around the corner.

    Usually, you'll remove it. If you're making a basket or a monkey the seed needs to come out. DO NOT TRY TO EAT IT. Supposidly it contains a form of cyanide.

    You have to remove the seed while you're carving the whole thing. Say, when working a basket you'll carve the handle, when you've broken through the "Pit" you can remove the seed. Then shape the handle. I use scrapers, that are similar to dental picks, for this.
    If you've halved a pit, (or it's split when you get it), You can make pins and things out of each half.
