Welcome to the wonderful world of whittling!

So I would recommend some basic safety gear, if you don't have it. Nice rawhide or leather gloves will help your hands avoid nasty splinters and nicks, and at worst may prevent you from losing a finger. My pop lost a few fingers playing with his power equipment, so I can't recommend it enough!

Guide wise, I've heard a few. Now I'm posting amazon links for the sake of brevity, but you can find these books elsewhere :

  • The Little Book of Whittling. I can't reccomend this book enough. I enjoyed it greatly, and it is quite affordable. I enjoy the sharpening section a lot, as the pointers it gives are pretty helpful.

  • Old Time Whittling. I don't own this book, but I have heard good things from others.

    I do like the look of your new knives as well, especially the Opinel 7. Make sure to practice safety friend!
