Kirschen Carving Knive with straight blade, three edges

Kirschen Two Cherries Series 33 carving knives

Geman made.

Wood carving knives can be used for stop cuts, shaving, rounding of edges and very small detail work. 

Chip carving knives are used by many whittlers for cutting out small v-shaped wood chips on a decorated wood surface.

Soft woods are best used for whittling and the easiest carving projects - small toys, bird decoys, and animals.
