I was wondering where Tom Wolfe found that bench knife that he shows in his books carving mice. It looks like a Warren bench knife, and like and interchangable blade, but I have not found one where the brass for the blade hold is molded like it is in his book. I think that Shawn Cipa has the same knife as well.
Thank you
John

Do a google search of "Warren knife with interchangable blades" you will get lots and lots of sites/suppliers

Have you checked LEE VALLEY tools?

This is a question for Dave Stetson. I noticed in another comment to you, the carver had carved some Arizona Santas (from Issue #53 of Woodcarving Illustrated) and then sold them. Is that permissible? I carved several of those but made some adjustments for local appeal and was going to sell them until I saw the copyright on the pattern. So I didn't sell any but gave them to family as gifts.

I live in a ski resort (Steamboat Springs, CO). Your pattern has Santa's hands in a perfect position for holding ski poles. I carved some ski poles, ski boots with bindings, and some little skis and attached them to the Arizona Santa. They turned out great. If it's okay to sell them I'll carve some more; otherwise, I'll just use them for gifts.
