I haven't really seen any carvers use the hook knife to create facets on the handles so I figured I would give it a shot. I am hoping the video shows the concave cuts.

I actually really like how this design turned out and I think it will be my go-to for eaters. The third one that has the spine along the back was the first prototype which is why it's different than the others. The concave back sits better on the knuckle in my opinion.

All black cherry, knife finish and burnished, 4 coats of RMP half and half.

Was doing some finishing cuts and thought it'd be beneficial to show how important sharp tools are.

I'm sure a lot of the beginners see "learn to sharpen" and "sharpen your knives" on their posts, but here's an visual aid to put to that advice and show of how much it elevates your work.

This is also pre-burnishing too which will provide an extra amount of smoothness.
