I’m soft and squishy. I ain’t running in to a fight. I do have some knifes though that get used and abused. ![IMG_6803](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/d/9/9d9d4c149f1d9de714cbe870a04ba0af58b8651b.jpeg) ![IMG_6798](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/f/8/bf86913fd0b472e361a828eb43869e3c9ffd7c2b.jpeg) As I find them roaming about I take a picture but non of them are fancy and they all get pretty beat up. The black thing was a gift at my wedding and the grey one my dad found on the side of the road while he was parked in his sleeper back in the 90s. ---

Idk if anyone is into whittling here, but a few years ago I went down a speciality whittling knife hole. I’ve been wanting a Helvie knife for a while now but never was able to get my hands on one. ---

I got on a big dockyard tools kick. It’s what my closest Woodcraft store carried. They’re pretty wonderful little tools. That was the fanciest I really ever got. And I have a whole butt ton of flex cuts. A helvie would be sick. Myy whittling kit was getting pretty big before I became a dad and time disappeared. Yo-yos are a great dad hobby cuz I can yoyo and parent pretty effectively. Carving takes a-whole-nother level of focus that makes keeping children alive almost impossible. They’ll be able to keep themselves alive soon enough though. ---

Never heard of Dockyard before but I just looked them up and now I want some lol. I ended up balling out way too hard on Pinewood Forge whittling knives. Have a few OCC ones too. My intention was to go camping and whittle by the river all day between catching fish. ---

Because you are woefully unprepared for unforeseen circumstances without at least the most basic tool. I EDC a flashlight, knife, leatherman, m1, and a pistol. I have solved countless problems with the first three and avoided a couple of serious problems with the last one. Relatives in Vegas were amazed at me being able to fix things with just what I had on my person. ---

I had a coworker who would whittle in the office then vacuum up his mess at the end of the day or if customers where inbound. Always fascinated me he would just take a break and whittle a bit then back to sorting through GPOs or something ---

Dockyard’s micro tools are excellent for caricature carving, or any fine detail, I’m sure. If you look through my early instagram, you can see exactly when I got my first set, because I immediately got better once I finally had some proper tools. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/2/4/924e9e9c8eaea5f3ba2b0b5ee3c5d7a79b2f6f53.jpeg) ---

My first whittling knife was a GEC Pocket Carver. Kind of just a cheaper Damascus sea horse. The Damascus looks much nicer though. ---
