Whittling

This whittling thing is just a hobby, for fun but it has other benefits. First of all, it enabled me to improve my knife skills, doing stop cut, push cut, paring cut, etc. Secondly, it has improved my sharpening, honing and stropping skills because I have to maintain my blades razor sharp. I learned how to re-grind the blades of an ordinary pocket knife to make it suitable for whittling.

And most of all, it somehow enabled me to do the things I love the most when I was a kid - making my own "toys". It is not an expensive pursuit, all you need is a sharp knife and a piece of wood and you're good to go. Try it, it's a lot of fun and it will make your kids or grandkids happy. But don't cut yourself.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
