The courthouse where my dad grew up (Jackson Kentucky) had to make a rule against whittling because the sidewalks were getting covered in shavings from old men gathering and shooting the shit while they whittled.
My dad was pretty good at whittling. He carved pistol grips, knife and tool handles, and many other items from wood. If we were hanging out in the woods he would often cut a thin sprout or branch and whittle on it just to pass the time as we talked.
Have to carry a knife in my lines of work, have to. Everything from Landscaping, Construction to pretty much Ranching.
Love the Buck, Schrade knives and also carry a leatherman some of the time but it can be uncomfortable...
Not much of a whittler, just have to have one no matter what i am doing day to day.
