      Whittling is one of those classic activities that I think most outdoorsmen try at some point. It is an activity that brings to mind an old-timer crafting a smoking pipe or some type of bird. To be honest, I don’t think it matters if you are good at it (I’m not!). What matters is the journey, the process. If it is relaxing and you enjoy it, then that is enough. When you need a few calm minutes during an outdoor trip, whittling can be the perfect way to breathe deep and consider your next steps.

      I combined art with semi-functionality when I whittled a very impromptu fork. I also made a small spoon for stirring my morning coffee. In the photo you may notice the handy paracord loops I added for easy hanging. The holes were made with the reamer tool. Keep your eyes peeled for the fork to make an appearance in another project.

      I have had better luck with the smaller to medium Swiss Army Knife models, such as the Tinker, when I have whittled for fun. For a more in-depth look at whittling and some great projects, I suggest Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Whittling Book by Chris Lubkemann.
