We use our knives to make things! Well, at least I did a few days ago. I just for the hell of it decided to make a spoon with ONLY my Izula and RC-4. I used my RC-4 to baton out the big chunks of the stick, then used it to whittle it down to basic spoon shape, then used my Izula for the finer work. Then I ate chili with it. :D

nice. always comes in handy when you forget to take cooking utensils camping. (not that i've ever done that). lol
 
that looks good man, i should do that sometime but i dont have any good wood laying around.
 
a spoon? a SPOON? I would have at least expected a SPORK from this crowd :D

Nice job on the SPOON, looks quite good. Izula is a nice little utility blade for craving stuff.

LOL! A spork? Why didn’t I think of that?! That's next on the list. Yeah it was fun, only took a couple of lazy hours.
 
Sporks suck.

Unless you are going to make it like an LMF spork with a spoon on one end and a fork on the other.

BTW little tip for guys to try: use fire to make the spoon bowl. pop a coal onto the spoon blank where you want the bowl to be, or if you have a really small fire, you can hold that area over the flame, and let it burn the bowl in. I find it easier to scrape away charcoal then to carve the bowl from the wood.

We start making things and of course buy more knives to make more things which leads to buying more knives to make more things...:D

This method is also very handy to smooth the bowl up. It is an easy quick way to make the surface smoother, and get rid of slivers etc.

High heat/fire can also make the wood harder (you can fire harden a wooden spear to make the point last longer).
