Short Carving Knives?

[mrhogg]

Hey all,

The basic electric carving knife is pretty awesome, and I'm loving using it, but it's a little big, and makes detail work a little tricky. Do any of you know of any smaller carving knives? Something 4-6 inches would be pretty groovy. Alternatively, if there are any good Dremel/rotary tool attachments that would do the job, that'd be great to know, too.

Thanks!
Brian

I usually rough out the shape with the carving knife, then use small scissors to snip away the finer details. Never seen a smaller version of a carving knife, though.

My knife has a removable blade for washing. I bought a 2nd replacement blade and cut it short.

You know....I've discovered that a straight razor is really Great at little carving. (And it looks cool. You can get a cheap one and disposable blades at Sally's for less than $10 and it cuts foam and fleece really nicely and I've used it to carve small blocks of foam to great success.

That's a really good idea. Thanks!
