As a boy I remember whittling was a favorite pastime while camping in the boy scouts. I've read about Grant whittling to pass time/think while his battles were ongoing (Shiloh?) (And why on earth would you name a child Shiloh?)
I was thinking about it and thought I might pick up a whittling knife. I used to use a Camillus cub scout knife (rather a nice pocket knife, actually) but thought I'd ask around at the last gun show I went to. Even the Case dealer with about 1,000 knives looked at me funny.
What's up with whittling knives? Can you recommend me a good value in one & where to pick up a nice used one? (or even new if they're still made)
Thanks!
