Re: [foldingboats] Crooked Knives [was: Inch and metric guys, ...]

[Andreas Borutta]

Hallo,

[Spokeshave]

> Ralph: How about a crooked knife?

A very helpful and versatile tool.
Both tools have advantages and disadvantages.
A fine tuned spokeshave with a narrow mouth, eliminates the risk of
splintering because the edge of the mouth in front of the cutting edge
always breaks the shaving.

A knife is quite more free in its use. It is carving.
And this tool is simple.

I like both. But I always enjoy this easy non-tiring way of moving
both arms with a spoke shave. I flows.

Andreas,
who will go to Czechoslowakia for skiing for a week, so it will need
some time for my next comments, äh footnotes :-)
