Thanks, Rick! It's always encouraging when someone actually recognizes what I'm trying to do with a whittling project.
That one started out as just a large chunk of ground cover/mulch under the bushes near a bus stop I use, and it was all black from being under the snow and ice all winter. So at first I was just mindlessly shaving off the outer layer and thinking maybe I'd try a rocket ship. But on the day that "inspiration" hit, I was finishing the clean-up with a congress knife and noticed the curvature of my wood chunk and decided to try to whittle a simple little congress pattern knife.

Maybe I should make that a recurring theme. There are lots of knife patterns that I like and are quite distinctive that could serve as "models" for my projects. And whittling a knife is kinda cool because you can start out quite basic and gradually put in all kinds of details as time goes by.

I used my new 83 to cut apples for breakfast, hence the patina.

Nice knife, Chief. I have a black one with the Army shield.

Carried this SAK for many years / many miles on active duty and into retirement. Scissors got the most use, keeping moustache within regulation, spring is broken but they still function. One of my least expensive but most treasured.

I've been wanting to give this some pocket time. Today is the day.

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” Mark Twain

When I was a boy of 7 I used my paper route money to by a knife like this one at the PX.

I'm still working on Sunday's rescue project knife. It needs a bit of a touch up on the edges, and it should be good for whittling.
