Knife suggestion for carving

[Marty_E]

I want to carve small totems (animals) out of blocks of wood no bigger than 2"x2". I like to get suggestions on Syderco knives that I should consider for the task.

Puukko for sure.

Thanks for the suggestions. I prefer the folders for ease of carry.

That'd by my choice as well.

The Delica Wharncliffe might be an attractive option.

When I think of carving it means FOOD :D

Nilakka. Get it while you still can.
Kiwi 4. Get it while you still can.
Des Horn. Get it if you can.
The WolfSpyder works well, but I don't know that it is worth ordering from overseas and paying International shipping. Mine is a factory second.
The Grasshopper is actually not too bad, and if you ever run across a Centofante C25GP, it makes a nice whittling knife. For a fixed blade, the K09 paring knife makes a pretty decent whittling knife as well.

The upcoming Baby Jess Horn sprint looks like it would be a good choice for wood carving. I may have to get one just for that purpose.

Spot on! That is what I use when I need to carve some wood. Works like a dream.

I actually like to carve with my PM2 M4. The super sharp tip works really well for detail stuff.
