I agree on DHK Pistol Grip!

Handle fit and function equals joy.
Tools can give us joy. Thanks

[@johnduffy6546]

I have an old Ron Wells knife and it is incredible! Glides through wood like butter

[@tomevans4402]

I use Occt and DH knives.

When a dental brush doesn't work I have a dental pick in my kit and it is great for those stubborn areas, I also have stylists it Bob Hershey showed that they are good for burnishing the eyes on the animal characters.

I have a good start on my knives but as far as the gouges and V-tools go what do you recommend as far as buying a complete set what set I want a good set what do you recommend. Right now I’m only interested in small figure carving and Christmas ornaments. Your a very good carver by the way. And I’m learning all I can. Thank you

[@tomstadnyk546]

Thanks Van, these tool tips are always very helpful.

I use a flexcut roughing knife that I've flattened the grind on, and a Chip carving knife from Lee Valley. I also inherited 4 other knives the my Dad made back in the 90's, those ones are very special to me.

[@trashpanther2296]

I have a Bud Murray large skew. I wish I had bought a couple sizes when I had the opportunity.

[@amyadams4579]

I really enjoyed this segment. Besides my OCC Tools and Flexcut knives, I am the proud owner of some tools that my grandfather used that, to my best guess are over 100 years old. I use these often and they are a joy to work with. I'd love to post a picture so all can see these fine tools.

[@amyadams4579]

Is there a way I can post a picture? Thanks.

[@leoamattnet4822]

Thanks Van ,great channel! Luv the DHK myself. Tried a few brands, and like these the best.

[@coreybrown1421]

I actually have a couple of these. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@ryan199948]

You forgot to mention the blower. 😉

[@joeeads6958]

Thanks for the great tutorial Van. What brand is that soft V tool you showed. Take care.

[@user-qw3mt4pd3n]

Good afternoon, Van! Please show, how to carve an eagles head. Sorry for my English. Hello from Russia.

[@ozzie8821]

What line of gouges come razor sharp to start out without having to sharpen right away?

[@angellaboy3506]

Hello! How can I get the unique tools?

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

Best way is to shop around. Either online or at shows.

[@robertsadler9903]

So far I find gouges very difficult to use. I'm not to good at sharpening them either.

[@kevint8532]

Thanks for the great info. I have been searching to try and find that #7-3/16"-Soft V with no success. I know you use that one a lot with facial features. Any advice on where to find one or a substitute type tool ? Thanks as always. Your videos are the best.

[@kevint8532]

Actually soft V-tools any size are hard to find.

[@tomstadnyk546]

OCCT v-tools are soft vees. For the most part. Pheil tools #14 are also soft vees.

[@user-yd1mg4gq4x]

Flexcut also has soft V-tools, maybe easier to find than OCCT.
