This is a great addition to the "carver."  This is fun for students in my classroom as well as adults--the idea of carving into and personalizing a crayon is a big hit!

I am a beginning carver and I have found this book to be very informative. The instuctions along with exceptionally great photos are very concise and easy to follow. The Gallery in the back of the book really gets your imagination started! I recommend this for any carver.

As a Forestry student at Clemson University in the early '60's,I was required to take a Wood Tech course to  recognize different species and learn their characteristics. As I recall, I did not do that well in the course, I think a D, but it became a lifelong challenge: to learn the different woods and to sharpen a knife. A few years later I took up wood carving as a means to those objectives. It's been a long trek with stops and starts, but ever upward. In the last couple years I had arrived at blade angle and buffing compounds. Eureka, I had arrived, but  I needed just the tool. I revisited the Work Sharpe device: ordered it two days ago and was sharpening knives at 10:30 last night. It is simple, well made, and a joy, in that it exceeds all my expectations. I'm not yet a finished carver, but the photo is a necklace I carved for my wife including the clasp.

What a great addition to the toolkit! A little pricey, but if you work on bikes alot, it's great to have a portable surface like this to put parts on while you're working/taking apart a bike, etc.

Quick but works well for a fast go over for carving tools

This is the third book from the CCA I have purchased.  The book is great to show what can be done with caricature carving.  It is not an instruction manual that I would recommend, but hard to beat for getting great ideas.

This is the new model, and I like the improvements.  Adjusting the slicing thickness takes a little getting used to, and then it's a breeze.

I wood have liked to see more detail explanations.  It seems that this book is geared for
the more experienced carver.  Pictures are very nice and clear. However,  I would have liked to have seen
more detailed information on the drawing of patterns.

Awesome add on purchase! I was very pleased and surprised at the light weight of the knife and the sharpness of the blade. This has become my go to knife at the moment. I will buy another like this.

I use this Morakniv Classic no. 1 utility knife to carve small wooden figures. I love the way it fits in my hand. It is super sharp and easy for me to control. Great price for a starter carving knife!

This is a really cool nick nac that would make an excellent addition to any home. It's very well assembled, sanded and the grain of the wood is very attractive. The carving is attractive and well done and desirably appleasing to the eye. Makes an excellent talking point and very functional and stands up very well. Our glasses fit on their very well and hold them in place! It has a little wooden notched clip on the back to hold the ear pieces of the glasses. My husband loves it. I did recover this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased review!

Great addition to the Leatherman.  This along with the bit kit improves my Leatherman New Wave and I didn't think that would be possible.

I purchased this knife to make a chip carved 50th anniversary plate for a couple I know. I had tried to do the carving with the regular knife, but the curves where very hard to get smooth and sharp curves where impossible for me. I talked to Marty and he suggested this knife. When I looked at it on line, and when it came it didn't look much different from the regular knife, but it makes a big difference. I can now make curves, even fairly tight ones and although they aren't perfect they are acceptable to me. I would highly recommend this knife if you are doing any curves or lettering. Also would recommend the scalloped plate, makes a very attractive carving.

This is a great new addition to the 2 handed machete collection. it is definitely my new  favorite to carry while cutting new or over grown trails while hiking.
A couple tips. I do these for all my 2 handed machetes :
1)  Add padded tennis racket grip wrap to the handle. I have larger hands and the padded grip wrap helps give it the girth I need to get a good strong grip on it, as well as makes it way more comfortable to use. Plus it  really absorbs the shock when hitting something hard.
2) Add a lanyard (para cord or rope) that is attaches to the hole in the end of the handle and goes around  your wrist of the hand that is closest to the blade while as close to the blade as you can get. this will help from having it get lost or hurt someone else when you lose your grip and it gets away from you. Believe me, It will happen.
3) Use a shotgun scabbard as a sheath to carry it on you back when around people so they don't freak out and call the authorities on you. You can easily attach a scabbard to a  back with just 2 clips since they are made for that purpose. I add a piece of folded sheet metal at the other end so the tip doesn't push through and when inserted all the way, there is very little handle showing but enough that people can see it is not a gun but cant see that its a sword either. I have never had anyone ask me what it is either while sheathed. but have had some really weird looks when it wasn't. Its pretty easy to pull out of it while on your back pack as long as you have a lanyard on it too.
