Lynn, I have been using a Stanley No. 199 utility knife for about a month now. I was surprised how the ease of handling it and how small of a piece you can carve with it.
But, I still go back to my Denny knife to get into places I can't with the "ol no 199".
However, the "ol no 199" is being used more and more. Found 10 high carbon blades for it yesterday and again was surprised at how cheap they were. Thank you for the tip and in watching you carve the turtle on a log at the Tulsa shows, showed me it could be done. Of course your tutorials showed it being used also.
