Pelican Knife

I received a new Flex-cut mini Pelican knife. It is a nice knife but what would it be used for?

I have had one for awhile and really like it. you can use it for detailing the eyes and nose or any small detail work.

works good for a lot of things, especially in curved areas. imo

I find it particularly useful when you have used a small gouge to make the nostril openings it allows you to clean up the back edge of the wood to be removed without chipping out the side of the nose.
Also if you want to make a very fine separation between two pieces of clothing (like a shirt and a vest) it allow you to make a fine cut so that it looks like the shirt is behind the vest and allows for there to be a shadow.

I had one, I broke it prying a piece of wood with itHead Bange
Its a great detail knife, I liked using for eyes. Try not to pry anything with it.
