I was thinking of a whittling knife that can be an EDC at the same time when I remember this CRKT Minimalist Wharncliffe I bought about 6 years ago. Its blade shape is like most straight blade carving knives although much wider. It performs well as a roughing knife but needs to be sharpened and honed more to do detail job.
I was able to rough out a bird without much difficulty.
It comes with a kydex sheath and a belt clip.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to whittle a Santa Claus.
This Santa is about 4 inches tall and 1 inch in diameter whittled from a twig I found during my early morning walk in the park.
Advanced Merry Christmas to everyone!

Sleep was quite elusive last night so although it's not Valentine's Day, I opted to whittle a heart rather than stare at the ceiling till the wee hours of the morning
The stained heart I did a long time ago and serves as a model.
Whittled 3 more hearts before I finally doze off. Good night.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
After a couple of years, I finally gave legs to the duck I whittled.
I used a gauge 16 bronze wire I bought from the craft section at Walmart. I think the duck is happy.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
Tagak is a Tagalog word for heron. It is a large fish-eating wading bird with long legs, a long S-shaped neck, and a long pointed bill. In my childhood town of San Jose, I often see them in swampy area usually perched at the back of carabaos that wallow in the muddy water. We have a saying in Tagalog when we want to describe the impossible "Pag puti ng uwak, pag itim ng tagak". Roughly translated it means, "When the crow turns white, when the heron turns black".
Would you believe a carving like this sells for $20+ at Etsy?
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
My mother has a place of her own. After living for a long time with my eldest brother, she finally moved out which made her sad. To cheer her up I made her a wooden birdie to decorate her shelf in the living room.
This birdie was whittled from a Weeping Willow using Mora 120.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
Which comes first, the chicken or the egg? One of the trick question I've been pondering about and seems to have no logical answer. Until modern science comes to the rescue:
"Prior to the first true chicken, there were non-chickens. The DNA changes came about in cells housed in the egg. So the egg came first. In July 2010, British scientists, using a supercomputer, claimed to have come up with the final and definitive answer."
There it is guys, the egg comes first.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
