Two blades, awl, chisel.
What do you guys think? Any suggestions on what else to in there?

Nothing to add, but that's a great idea.

Neat idea! I guess a 58mm saw probably isnt too practical.

That's the one thing I was thinking of, but figured it wasn't really feasible.

I'm thinking more of a V gouge kind of tool. Will start looking for pics...

Cuticle pusher would make a gouge chisel if sharpened, and maybe another blade as a pair to that.
Need to find a cuticle pusher to try.

What type of scales will adorn it?

Wood scales?

Wood scales? Yeah, that would be perfect.
Thanks

Can't wait to see the end result.
Looks good so far and carving knives are fun.

When I worked in a cabinet shop I loved whittling offcuts.

I was just thinking of that but then the Awl came to mind.

Chaka · **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2014, 02:19:17 AM

I'm not too sure about a file.
The awl is there already.
A saw might be handy but don't know if possible to find one that small that works.

Maybe a pull knife out of the cotton picker / orange peeler and a u gouge chisel from the cuticle pusher. Both of which I don't have atm.

My brain is trying to figure out how to make the standard wood saw pivot in the center to fold in half. But I think it would be tool big still to fit. But... could it be done?

Oh you know whats probably more realistic but still useful. Small piece of a hacksaw blade. Small teeth could be used to make small cuts.

Ooh, if you do chose wood scales I'm thinking a truly dark Ebony or something with a black varnish. I love wood grain in black...

Good luck.

A hacksaw might be possible or maybe a scrollsaw and it could be used sideways TV make some texture.
Thanks Syph
