godz - I have the assorted tools but these small pieces are usually carved using either the hook knife or an Xacto. I like the Xacto because the blades are cheap, sharp and thin. Palm chisels are fun to use on the small stuff, but I've had some experiences that turned me off of them. Rotary tools are fun but a little awkward to carry around - the hook knife blade can be tucked into the handle and fits nicely in the pocket.
