The hook knifes, you lay them flat in the stones or the strops, without angle at all?

@CarvingisFun 6 месяцев назад

The inside, yes. But outside at an angle matching the edge grind angle.

@c0rn651 Год назад

should i use sand paper to sharpen first or just strop

@LorenzoGonzalesBrady 7 месяцев назад

Hi, I really like the shape of that hook knife you have closest to the camera. What brand is it/where did you get it? I’m looking for a hook knife for scooping tighter curves.

@CarvingisFun 7 месяцев назад

If you are referring to the really small hook, that one is from OCC Tools (aka Kryshak carving tools now) and is the #7 spoon gouge. kryshakcarvingtools.com/spoon-gouge-7/

@scottmorris4914 2 года назад

Can the polishing compound applied to the strop dry out?

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

If left next to a heat source I can see it drying out, but I don't find it necessary to change mine but every 6 months or so.

@manguydude905 5 месяцев назад

So your honest opinion, is it worth it? I'm having trouble stropping my hook knife Thanks

@CarvingisFun 5 месяцев назад

Oh, i think the strop is worth it! I use mine all the time!

@jeffgreensmith4323 Год назад

Where did you buy your flexible leather strop?

@CarvingisFun Год назад

It was from beavercraft

@andysupers5468 2 года назад

The Beavercraft hook knife has a large bevel on the outside. The inside is flat. So do you just sharpen the outside edge and only remove the burr from the inside?

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

Yep, pretty much

@Uncle_factors Год назад

Have you used a cone stone for the spoon knives? I just bought one and can't find any hand tutorials for it.

@CarvingisFun Год назад

I've seen them around, but never really used them much myself. you only really get a short stroke length that is close the to curvature of your hook knife. Still, they are useful for getting into certain shapes if needed.

@Uncle_factors Год назад

@@CarvingisFun I did just use it the first time. Work nice.

@mayamachine Год назад

why not use your hook knife to carve the groove into a wood block, then put your sandpaper or strop on that block? why buy one?

@CarvingisFun Год назад

It is indeed a practical option, but this one does have more function to it too.

@ZakariyaMissoum 2 года назад

when will you be carving the gnome?

@CarvingisFun 2 года назад

Not 100% sure yet, but it is on the list to do. I'm still trying to figure out a good and simple design I can make a tutorial on. I should have some time this weekend to further develop the final design, if I don't get called into work again at least.
