I went against my normal practice and bought something...a Dave Budd Spoon Knife....
I had tried one owned and handled by Mesquite and the temptation was too much
It arrived today and I quickly put a mahogany type wood handle on it and gave it a quick play.....
Magic!
Loads better than the Moras I have been using!
I quickly carved a few neat depressions in a bit of well seasoned Beech I had kicking around and used the moras on it as well - no contest!
The DB is a joy to use
It is now having its handle soaked in oil but I hope to get a spoon (another one!) on the go tomorrow
Great spoonknife, great service, great craftsman, great guy!
