_Knife_b.JPGWade's Personal Carving Tool167 viewsClick on this picture to enlarge.
Click on the enlarged picture to see more even more detail. (May take a while to load).
I alter the single centered blade at one end into a spear point shaped carving blade. In cross section, it is flattened to a wedge shape. Both surfaces flattened (not hollow ground) from back of blade to cutting edge. The micro-bevel is from stropping only. This blade is designed to cut soft wood. (Hard wood will require a wider and more blunt bevel).
The blades on the opposite end are changed to a 1/16" wide VEE and a shallow gouge with 3/32 inch radius.
All blades are tucked into the handle, so there are no projecting blades to be uncomfortable. All sharp corners except for cutting edges are smoothed for comfort.
If You check at www.buckknives.com you will see the price for an unaltered 301 is $46, which is less than $25 labor per blade for the alteration.
This does not take into consideration the other alterations to the knife which I do to make the knife more comfortable to carve with.

This year I taught a three-piece Nativity set (Mary, Joseph and Jesus. The go-by is of Mary. Joseph was made in a simiiar fashion. I carved all six stages and fastened them to a display board. It seemed to work all right. Thanks to Lynn Diel for the style. I did not make an exact copy. The pieces are 3/4 the size he used among other differences.wade

Tree_House_Pirates.JPGFirst page18 viewsMy daugdter and her Family; Kevin, Shawna, Barret and Samantha; are writing Childrens Stories about "The Wonderful Tree House". I was asked to build a tree house for them, for illustration purposes. This album shows the sequence of construction. It is a blast building it, seeing as I never built one while I was a kid (in years).
