wow, the izula is also very good at...

[zyhano]

carving wood, whittling stuff

So this is not a hardcore survival post but while watching 'law abiding citizen' I carved away a bit with my izula and it totally rocks.

Awesome control over fine cuts, very versatile in grips and it has all the right curves for the thing I was doing.

I made a very crude knife (actually, I hardly did any whittling before) after opening the book 'little book of whittling' by Chris lubkemann in the time it took me to watch the movie.

Now, after cutting and slicing the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picea_abies it was still shaving the hair of my arm. How about that!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

And now for the review of the movie:
After seeing his family killed before his eyes, the guy decides to take revenge.
He sharpens his izula for the next ten years and... hehe na guys, you gotta see it yourself

for the experts and interested, the wooden knife is a drop point, hollow grind, with a back bavel of 30 degs and a cutting edge of 40 inclusive


Here's some pics, enjoy

That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen whittled.

That is an awesome Intregal you just made. Love the wrap on your handle as well.

Yeah, the Izula is a great little knife for doing just about anything you need it to do. I've carved up a few little odds n ends and it's been a piece of cake using it.

Sweet carving! Is it based off of a specific blade?

So, you are planning on going big with these, right?

Looks nice, but can it handle batoning??

I'm curious as to why the photos have been flipped horizontally.

+1 on really liking the wrapping on the izula. And the red looks great on the pink, something I would not have thought until I saw it.

Cool whittling too, I've tried to get into it, but aside from a few spoons (and I used a coal for the bowl) I just don't have the patience.

I make an effort to confuse people, gives me the upper hand
seriously: it just the setting on my mac's webcam, I've changed it for future screenshots.

thanks for the comments all!
