Hello Guys & Dolls

I am new to the group here and from having looked a little at the forums everyone here seems so helpful. Have to ask a Huge favor.

While looking around at different carving sites, somewhere I came across a carver who had a blade pocket knife specialized for carving. one blade a gouge, one a V tool, 3rd for detail/etc. Help. He had pictures and If I'm right there might have been directions on how to..Why ask? well, I'm 36 and building a business. Raised here in Texas and shirt and tie or not, always carry a pocket knife. HELP...Anyone know what I'm talking about.

Their is a man by the name of Charlie Berold that lives in Miamisburg,OH that makes knives,also will take your favorite pocketknife and install up to a 24 deg. V tool and gouges of your choice.Very good knife and a excellent job,but very high end on cost.My input is the price is worth the quality of the workmanship you recieve.

Charlie's working on an article on sharpening with us as well! He's a great guy! I got to meeting him a few years ago at Dayton.

Thanks, sounds like Charlie could be the one/site I saw. I did see the carving Jack from the other posts so felt a little dumb after I posted for it but was wondering about getting it done for less, etc..

The Flexcut folding knife is a large klunker compared to the work by Charlie Berold.

I prefer to carry a small folder, like a whittler with 3-blades or a single blade Old Timer and second gouge or two.

You can also consider an excellent option from Cape Forge

Check out the Mini Chisel Set, small leather pouch with several sizes of chisels/gouges.

How about Charlie Berold's website anybody? Started to search and musta been looking in the wrong corner of the Internet.. Help? Another one I have found so far is a guy named Wade. Website is Wadeswood.com.

I don't think Charlie has a web site. Plus, he's about 3+X the cost of the carving jack. His tools ARE one-of-a-kind and well worth the price though.
