I wanted to try whittling. This knife is my tool.
I dreamed of carving my own cute wood trinkets in all the spare time I have, so I asked a pal what knife he uses when he whittles. He suggested I start with a “sloyd” knife, a traditional Swedish carving blade.
This video may help:
I also ordered the recommended starter wood: basswood chunks, and after cutting myself I’m awaiting a THUMB GUARD.
Get a thumb guard first.
