Default 5/8 inch Carving
Here's a little sumthing I made today. Didn't want to take a long time with anything so I made this. Got a nasty cut on my knuckle while making this little guy, cut right thru my glove. Carved it with my old Imperial knive. I sneezed once and couldn't find him for 20 minutes! Anyway... this was a fun little whittelin, hope you like looking at him if can even see him! ( sorry about the pictures, need a better camera)

Alex, I think you need a smaller knife, or smaller fingers. Lucky you didn't inhale.

Any smaller and you could sell them to a "Flea Circus!" I knew there was a reason that I didn't carve anything smaller than 3". I spend enough time in the emergency ward as it is!
