Dave Lyons detail knife

That's the exact knife that I have and use exclusively and love it. The blade is super thin and really gets into those hard-to-reach places. It holds an edge really well too. I actually just ordered the 1-3/4" Lyon about a half hour ago (go figure). I wanted a little bigger knife for some larger caricatures I'm thinking of doing.

I've been using the Warren Tool JW 3 for nearly 30 years with a modified #20 blade.....the top hook has been ground away so it is straight along the top. This is the one Dave Sabol used for years untill he designed his own.

Look under Warren Industrial Blades and Handles.

Here is what mine looks like with my soft grip wrap.

Here is a close-up of the blade...

Hope this is helpful.

Well of course I had to add to my heap of chips (someday I'm going to actually make something

I am a bit distracted right now since my faithful s-10 laid down on me(cracked Head,looking for parts). Really ticks me off, I only have 198,000 miles on it and it's a truck, should not be worn out yet.
I think it will be a useful addition. I like the warren travel kit, but thought the blades somehow looked unfinished. The blades are reasonable (in case I mess one up) so I think there will be other modifications(improvements?).
