C Clysdalle Member Carlsbad, CA Joined: Jan 27, 2006 Posts: 1010	C Clysdalle Posted posted on Fri, Oct 6, 2006 2:49 PM working on a little tiki last night learing my way around a hook knife....taking a few knicks and slight cuts out of the wood.....and hand...nothing bad....really excited with the results...and then WOOOOOPS, slip and a 3 inch gash right down my wrist, looking like a botched suicide attempt. After an ER visit, I guess I'll chaulk this up to a lesson learned.... Man, Tikis are kickin my ass!!!! Ordered a thumb protector and some new gloves for when I'm stupid again.....

I love the results though...do you use any type of protection besides a glove?? Or are your hands just blade resistant at this point;)
8T 8FT Tiki Tiki Socialite Kansas City, MO Joined: Nov 30, 2003 Posts: 1411	8T 8FT Tiki Posted posted on Fri, Oct 6, 2006 3:35 PM Sorry you got such a gash. Hope you mend well. You know Ben has gotten several of us "hooked" on the hook knife thing and every now and then you gotta pay some dues (in blood). But the kevlar glove and patience are what it takes for these fine tools to work best. If you want to remove a big chunk in a hurry, don't use the hook knives, use the chisels! Hopefully you wont carve yourself any more! Have fun. 8FT

C Clysdalle Member Carlsbad, CA Joined: Jan 27, 2006 Posts: 1010	C Clysdalle Posted posted on Mon, Oct 9, 2006 7:50 AM Thanks guys....question for BA.....now I'm getting used to the hook knife and the #10 blade (the dual edged downward hook)...my question is with the application of the other blades it came with...straight edge, reverse hook, left and right hook edges.....which is best for what? I have not been able to find much "hook knife guidence" on the web, hope you or anyone else can shed some light on it...thanks in advance!! -clys

P Paipo Member Aotearoa / NZ Joined: Jun 22, 2006 Posts: 1886	P Paipo Posted posted on Mon, Oct 9, 2006 1:38 PM You've got a really cool style happening here - the bold cuts and textured finish make them look like stone tooled pieces that came from a lost island somewhere. Obviously the blood sacrifices are working nicely!
