Good Morning Ben,

The work looks stunning as usual.

Wonderful pictures....Hope you don't mind a couple of amateur questions? I'm still not feeling that comfort level with my knifes yet...of the 4 knifes that my kids brought me, I don't think that any are a "hook knifes" judging from your pictures...I have two curved knifes like this (big and small), but the edge is on the outside of the curve not towards the inside.

Do you find yourself pulling the blade more towards you to make a cut, or do you primarily push the blade away from you, or is it a combination of the two?

What type of bit are you using on your rotary tool there....it looks like a weird sand paper type set up?

Many thanks,

Babalu
