Crook Knife Question

[belabear]

hi folks,

just something i think about for a while:

would a crook knife be suitable to work on a knife handle?

i mean the shape a handle, to whittle down...

thanks for your input!

cheers

depends on the shape of the knife, the shape of the handle and your own skill.

try it and find out

Personally I would use a frosts 106 narrow blade sloyd but any straight carving knife would do no need for a crook to whittle a knife handle.

More usual to use rasps files and sandpaper but it depends on what shape and finish you want.
