Chisel grind great for wood

[hard.times.lures]

I just wanted to mention that the chisel grind found on the Victorinox floral knives make great wood carving knives. You can slice a very thin layer of wood with them and get precision cuts. This assumes you are right handed as these knives have the bevel set up for right handed use.

Sharpening them is easy--most of the time, I just use leather honing with white rouge. They get sharp===and I mean sharp! These knives can be found pretty cheap on the bay. (I am not selling them) and they really cut well.

Interesting...just 2 weeks ago, I was going through some old, picked-over boxes, from my Grandmother's estate. I was told I could have anything, because everything was getting thrown away. I found two old pocket knives, from my grandfather (more on those, at a later time) and this one, separate in my grandmother's floral stuff. My mother and grandmother were parter/owners in a florist, in Euless, Texas, for many years. She kept a couple of boxes of floral equipment and continued to make arrangements, for various reasons, long after the closing of the florist. I haven't cleaned / sharpened it yet...but it looks like it will be a nice little knife. Thanks to your timely post...I now know that it actually is a floral knife, and did belong to my grandmother.
