That looks a great past time, where do you recommend buying your first knives? And which one or ones to start out?

[RobArb]

I bought my mora knives at wales woodfest last year, I think they were £12 each

Ha ha, either way has its merits. Complicated stuff I'd do some sketches first, otherwise let the wood guide you maaaan:001_smile: Let it evolve, there's no point forcing a design when something better pops out.
