Carving knife and pocket saw

I have this old red cedar fork that I chopped out of a rotten log. The outer wood is all mushy and nothing but pure red heartwood left at the core.

I thought this would be a good piece to try out my new tools.

I took the wife to the outlet mall near the fancy knife store. Luckily, I was able to stop by and pick me up a new carving knife and pocket saw.

The knife is custom made with a 1/16", 1095 carbon steel blade and a nice big comfortable handle. I have several carving knives including Mora and Flexcut. I bought the custom model because I really liked the look and feel, but to also support our local knife maker.

The Opinel saw is very pocket friendly. I have larger saws; but I wanted something a bit smaller to carry those times a big saw isn't feasible. I made a few cuts with it and it is very sharp. I just have to stay conscious of the shorter stroke when cutting.
