re: Rose

Look into Mora and some other brands. I did not know that Pfeil made knives, or I might have bought them instead of the Flexcut knives. Back when I had good cash flow, (I used to travel as part of my job, and was given per diem money with no questions asked- long story) I just bought the Flexcut knives. I'm really hoping that people hold off buying carving tools until they have more knowledge than I did, back in the day. Maybe a blog or something should be started to help people with tool purchases and techniques. Though, again, that's reinventing the wheel, when there are websites dedicated to just this.
