I've read about this Cold Steel Mini Tuff Lite in blade forums being used to carve ball in a cage or ball in a ball and wondered if it is really is capable of what was claimed it can do. My friend who is fast becoming a blade addict bought one and showed it to me. I was hooked and bought one too.
I whittled a fox out of 1" x 1" basswood and the CS Mini Tuff Lite really can carve no doubt. But whether it can do ball in a cage or ball in a ball remains to be seen. I have to try it myself because I think the width of the blade can be difficult to use on tight corners specially when freeing the ball.
Blade Length: 2"
Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm
Overall Length:5"
Steel: Japanese AUS 8A Stainless
Weight:1.7 oz
Handle:3" Long Grivory
Pocket Clip: Stainless Pocket / Belt Clip
The fox which my grandson said looks like a pig.
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
I thought it was easy to carve a pumpkin just like our local kalabasa. But the skin was so thick and hard my Schrade knife almost closed on my fingers while trying to carve a Jack-O-Lantern. The solution was to use the locking blade of my SAK Trekker to make a cut on the skin and finish it off with the saw blade.
I cleaned the inside of the pumpkin with a spoon and left it on a newspaper to dry.
My grandson is fascinated with it and volunteered to light the candle.
P.S. Happy Halloween!
That's all folks! Thanks for reading.
