I find the worst type of knife to be those real posh things, that are beautifully handmade with turned handles and all that. Well… it snapped off and half of it went up me finger nail… You want to try digging that out with a bradawl.

I like minimal tools. When you knowingly end up spending more just to get it. It turned a boring order of glue and screws into bloody Christmas. Blimey Charley, the knife was perfect. The design is very similar to the one that shived me. The only real limitation is if you like to do those very fine pinned dovetails.

But I suppose you would nearly always need something fairly dedicated for those anyway. If I could change anything I would lengthen the cutting point. Basically make the spear-shaped angle more shallow. This is simply my thoughts and experience with this knife. Want to know my two pence on other tools?

I use Colt brad point bits, mostly. Nothing, in my view is more accurate and smooth cutting as these bits. I got the single-edge version of this a while back but the gentle curve from one side down the bevel contrasting with the flat straight-edge on the back of the knife gave this optical illusion of the knife tip being bent over whenever I used it and it drove me nuts so I swapped it out for that stanley knife Paul Sellers uses and which my dad used to use a lifetime ago so that was a nice symmetry.

Same steel as their excellent plane irons. I use them very often with a small drill brace with a hex shaft and they make holes in fir without tearout. I made a mistake in the previous post. I thought I would have deleted the word. I just bought an old screwdriver at a garage sale for 50 cents and shaped the point on a grinder, works fine, I use it for just about everything, an old busted up chisel would work too — just shape the tip how you want it.
