Now this is what I call a carving knife!

This guy has some serious control with such a big blade

i had a feeling he wasnt carving just to carve, now youve set me on a mission to find out what the final product looks like

 

[BearChow]

Christ, how hasn't he accidentally lopped off his kneecap by now?!

 

[Cascade_mtn's]

That is truly amazing. For me however...... I would be dragging my self along seeing as I would have chopped my legs off at the knee cap long ago.

I've seen that vid before--crazy stuff!

 

[gruntmedik]

Wow. He must have made one or two of those before.

 

[JGON]

It looks like a Tanto Butcher Knife.

I thought the saw technique was good, rather sharp actually- note the Cobra lies on its back gently suckling nectar from the sugar cane technique.

Good display of control, great vid thanks for displaying vid on post.

Cheers,
Guy

Wow, thought it was gonna be some kind of fish carving. Even after lobbing it off and placing it down i didn't see the bird for a second or two. Frigging sweet.

PROOF,
You can do anything with a BIG knife that you can do with a small knife, but not VICE VERSA!!! LOL

Great demo of a specialized tool. I will be a bit of Debbie Downer and say that looks like some soft wood. Lets seem him do that with hedge!

 

[Mulefun]

Your right kgd, Japanese wood-workers only use soft woods.
