Travel Carving Tool


This post features my prototype Bocote,brass,stainless,mild & high carbon tool steel,travel carving tool.The tip of this tool is interchangeable thanks to a clutch mechanism that locks the cutting tip in place.This allows many different tips to be carried in a relatively small space,say a leather wallet & the handle may simply be stowed in a pocket.


I am 95% happy with how it turned out,just a minor tweak to sort out repeatable blade alignment but all in all it's almost retail ready.
