can I use to widdle, my old gramdpappy's knife isn't that great for wood

Right out of the box it would have enough blade to widdle. I haven't had it long so I don't know how long it will stay sharp and I haven't tried to re-sharpen it yet to see what kind of edge it keeps or for how long.

Knife blade is too curved to do any widdling does not have a very large straight section on it. Hope this helps overall it's a great looking knife.

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

Yes. The spine of the knife is rough from the stamping procedure used to make it. Run a file down the spine a few times to help square it up and give the spine sharper corners. It'll then work great.

Yes, you can use any of those tools, but you may find that the light sabre will warp the edges. What I use id a rotary cutter.see http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=41729&cat;=1,250,43298,43314

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.

you can still use the knife but the handle will be uncomfortable, because of its asymmetrical D-shaped design. you are spending over $100 on a quality knife don't worry about $30, get the one that will fit your hand. this is a double-bevel knife with a 16 degree angle on each side, so the cutting wouldn't be affected by using the wrong hand

No, the handle will not work for this purpose unless you are going to be spearing very small fish and then you would have to uses something like bamboo... I use is purely as a backup knife or knife of last-resort...

It could, but it is not at the end of the knife. it may be too small for thicker materials.

I'm sure you could bud but be careful it's madenof cast iron or at least mine was so the metal is brittle so take you're time. And use cutting fluid Hope it helps manChristopher Smith

If your asking about a roughing plane for heavey wood removal yes. I watched the Woodwright Shop one morning and they addressed just this issue. Purchase a replacement blade regrind the front edge into a radius curve equivalent to an 8" radius. The way they proceeded was to draw a 8" radius on a piece of stiff paper. Us the line as a guide to regrind and sharpen the front edge of the blade to match the curvature. The angle of the gring is still as factory approximatley 25 degrees. This blade will cut center scoups allowing for thicker chunks to be removed. Adjustment of the mouth will be wider to allow thicker chunks to exit. Hope this helps and God bless.Joseph If your asking about a roughing plane for heavey wood removal yes. I watched the Woodwright Shop one morning and they addressed just this issue.

Scissors will work just fine. If you're worried about fraying you can use a match or lighter to singe the cut edges but it's probably not necessary.

yes you can, just be wary of the finish, you would'nt want to scratch it. Another good tip in using this knife is to use a silicon based lubricant so the knifes body won't become oily in use.

I suppose you could. It would produce a very smooth cut, but might be slower than a blade designed for wood. Blades designed for cutting wood would probably be less expensive than this blade, which is intended for cutting soft metals.

I don't know. It was a Christmas gift to our oldest son and the knife is at his house. I would try to Google Ramblewood and see what you can find out.

You would definitely want the ultimate pro for a primary woods knife. This one just isn't big enough. It would work in a pinch but if you take it as a primary you'd be putting yourself in a pinch.

yes,but remember, only over low heat such as your simmer setting. Higher heat settings discolor the metal and could potentially char the wood handle.

Yes, Also the screw they supply is TINY and won't even tap into the wood. You'll have to go a hardware store and get a woodscrew that is about an inch and a half longer.
