Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book: 43 Easy Projects (Fox Chapel Publishing) Step-by-Step Instructions to Carve Useful and Whimsical Objects with Your Pocketknife and a Twig Paperback – July 1, 2015

This book has lots of pictures that follow along with the written text to give you an idea of what to do as you attempt to whittle projects side-by-side with the book. Written in a conversational style, most people should be able to follow along to learn the basics – then take those skills forward for your own creations. For the beginner, there is a good overview of choosing a knife, sharpening, how to cut wood, etc. You truly can do this with one of the Swiss Army tinker knife.You may also want to do a search on the author’s name, as he has several instructional “how to” videos that are very similar to the chapters in the book – it can help bridge some of the question of “how did he do that” as you are doing your own project.

Good book. It is really simple if you know how to use a knife

I love the book very much for learn anything for make a woods . Awesome!!

This book is easy to read. The author covers Swiss Army Knives in the beginning which is reasonable considering they supported his writing of the book. After this he gets into basic cuts, sharpening and projects. Sharpening should explain what 'sharp' means. My backpacking stones didn't do the job and after getting a Alabama stone set and following the directions I was able to cut a mulberry branch much more easily. I've almost completed the first project which is a letter opener.

El tamaño es perfecto, la fotografía y toda la información es increíble! Me muero por empezará a leerlo y tallar cosas!

Would you expect a 30 year old female who just finished nursing school and is looking for something to occupy her newfound free time, to want to try whittling? No? Me neither! But I saw the book and was intrigued. It lays out all the basics for getting started and the projects were perfect for beginners. The illustrations were extremely helpful. A couple birds/roosters later and I was hooked.

Great book! Very well written and easy to follow demonstrations. Chris makes it very easy to get into this hobby using the high quality Victorinox Swiss Army knife. He shows how to sharpen which does not take expensive equipment or mysterious methods. I have grown in my appreciation of the Victorinox knife and how great it is. It is a bargain at $18 for the Tinker. I had the special opportunity to take a whittling class with Chris at his home in Lancaster, PA. What an inspiration he is. It was terrific. This is a great hobby that is very low cost, does not take much space and you can use branches that you can find for free by keeping an eye out for them when people prune or trees are downed. Once you start whittling, you get into that zone where time just flies by. Highly recommended!

We gave this to our 8 year old along with a swiss army knife. There is a lot of random information that we weren't really looking for, and that part of it isn't typically interesting to kids that age. The actual projects are not very many, but my boy was proud of himself when he made himself a bow and arrow.
