If this is considered advertising, mods please remove and accept my apologies........did, however, find this to be rather endearing.

All that whit'lin without a titanium framelock!
Unsafe I say! (Kidding)
Some good wisdom there and therein

Thank you for sharing that. I think I need to learn how to peel an apple in one peel…

This guy is the Bob Ross of pocket knives. He gave me a great idea for a new family tradition: I am going to start giving my son and daughter each a pocket knife every year for Christmas ... whether they think they need it or not.

Really like the line, "Whittling is killing time while time is busy killing everything else."

It's important to understand the value of a good sharp blade in your pocket.
If more people started carrying they will run into moments where their usefulness will present themselves

Whittling is a peaceful passtime.

The extent of my whittling is making pungee sticks/spear
Not trying to carve a raccoon face or nothin'

“Whittling” is what I call the process of using a knife to make some odd knickknack out of wood, since I don’t have the patience or skill to make something good and call call it “carving”.

You can also use terms like “rustic” or “rough-hewn” to make the sloppy work seem intentional…

Yes, all of my work is rustic or authentic or minimalist. But really that’s just the extent of my skill!! Don’t rat me out man!

Chui thanks, that was an enjoyable couple of minutes. OH

I'm right handed with two left hands, have no artistic talent, my skills are limited to sharpening blades but, with the help of some cups of black tea, i'm patient.
"Whittling is killing time..." I sometimes have moments of eternity.

Besides the Böker he used on the apple, there was
1) an orange knife (Case seahorse whittler?)
2) a brown wood one
3) a reddish acrylic one
4) a fancy gray and white one

How'd I do??
