Tools and materials used for Fan-Carving

FlexcutTM Pelican Knife

FlexcutTM Pelican Knife

The FlexcutTM Pelican Knife is our favorite. With its blade contour, it is advantageous to carve across the 2-inch portion of the blank to achieve the long-tapered hinge cut.

$21.95 plus postage.

 

 

FlexcutTM 3-inch Drawknife

 

The 3-inch drawknife was designed for fan-carving with FlexcutTM Tool Company Inc. Because of the single-beveled cutting edge, the flat back of the knife has the advantage of guiding the blade along the white cedar fiber.

The drawknife with handles on both sides, helps to lever through a pocket of pitch or dry cells if necessary.

The thinness of the cutting blade is advantageous when slicing very thin feathers. The slices will move forward and prevent the knife from binding in the wood.

The 3-inch drawknife is also useful for debarking walking sticks and roughing out in-the-round carvings.

$32.95 plus postage.

FlexcutTM SlipStrop

Used to maintain that razor edge on your tools.  It has molded profiles for polishing and deburring V-tools and gouges.  The knife strop is on the backside.  This handy kit includes a small bar of Flexcut Gold polishing compound and detailed instructions.

Thumb Guard Tape

 

This tape is superior to any other that we have tried. One roll will last a long time. Store it in a plastic bag to prevent deterioration.

Create your own thumb guard and use it repeatedly. We recommend using a thumb guard especially with the sweeping back  of the Flexcut Pelican Knife

$4.00 per roll plus postage.
