Title: New Mod
Post by: Gareth on September 16, 2008, 11:15:11 PM: First time I have posted a mod here so be gentle. :cry:

Having been inspired to take up whittling I thought I would make myself a purpose build knife. This is what I came up with.

Started of as a Hiker but I removed the openers, awl and key ring layer. As you see this left me with just the blades and the saw. I decided on the Phillips, as it is more comfy on the thumb than the corkscrew. It is about as smooth and easy on the hand as I could make it and still have the tools I wanted. I have been thinking of this as the Woodcrafter. I hope you like it.

PS I also re-profiled the small blade a little.

Good book BTW. The author recomends a Tinker.

Great book, and even better workmanship mate, that letter opener looks pretty damn good :)

Would you be expecting to ever use the saw blade in your whittling?
