Per the title, a small PDF file (8 pages) outlining the process of modifying the small blade on a Swiss Army Knife to make it a great tool for wood carving.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Thank you for the blade modification tutorial.
Now, here I demonstrate an acute ignorance. In the PDF you show the bevel from one side only. Is the grind symmetrical or is this what I would call a right hand blade?
Would you ever advocate an asymmetrical (flat on one side) grind for whittling? We used to use them for grafting apple to get a perfectly flat cut.

Bevel is the same on both sides.
I've never used a single bevelled blade for carving, well other than a spoon knife or a chisel on larger pieces, so can't really comment

Might someone write to Victorinox with the idea?
I happily write to companies with ideas. I’ve had excellent responses from a couple of them.

Already have last year (23 February 2023), I suggested an Alox Farmer, with the can opener removed and replaced with the small blade, even suggested they could call it the "Alox Bushcrafter", i didn't however mention the Felix scorp mod, I got a reply from Victorinox too - i'll just leave you with that
