Ive been keeping my eye out for a small knife for doing some more intricate carving work - nothing to special, just the tight curves on the neck of spoons and maybe some chip carving etc.
Ive seen a few small straight bladed tools, some in sets with differing angles on the blades (but mainly a flat blade around 100-200 mm).
Wondering if anyone has experience of them, i dont have a lot of money to spend on these things and for the main dont prescribe to the view that you get what you pay for - i have many good tools which are frankly cheap but hold a good edge etc, but i am a bit suspect of some of the £20 5 knife sets. Actually maybe i am more suspicious that can find em on amazon and ebay...?
So any ideas folks, gratefully received. ideally id love to see them before buying but in the absence of that a recommendation or informed decision would be a good start.
