    How do you chisel curves?

    I want to make a handle for my Izula 2 using the method in the vid below. Basically cutting out the outline of the handle so that two pieces of wood sandwich together to provide a hidden tang handle. It seems pretty straight forward but I'm not sure how to do the curve on the butt. I've never used a chisel before so I'm not sure if a curve like that is doable with one.



    Edit: Pic of knife for reference.

    When I tried this I used a utility knife to cut into the wood along the shape you want. Then chisel the wood out and by having cut into the wood already it should come out nicely.
