carving with a vic sak

[RescueRiley]

My older brother ( the guy who bought me my first knife) while not being a "knife guy" per say is an outstanding wood carver ...he makes ridiculously detailed folk carved figurines...which he sells from time to time...He was showing me all of his creations one day when I asked him what he used to carve them all with. He puled out a vic spartan and said he used the small blade on that knife to do all of his carving...I suppose it's not that amzing a story but I found it interesting....anyone have a similar experience?

Yea..... my Grandad used to carve chains with nothing more than his Old Timer stockman. I've tried to use my Vic Farmer, and it does the job just fine. Gets a little uncomfortable after a while.

Of course me being addicted to knives I need to buy dedicated carving knives to really be a good carver.

I tell you what I like - is the CASE Seahorse Whittler

It has three blades: Wharncliff, Pen, and Coping blade. Does about all I want it to do. Or rather all I can do!
