[Woodcarver] Just a basic question...

The term "skew knife" is used to describe a host of different knives, some shaped like a skew chisel, others simply a knife with a skewed blade. I've seen some catalogs that label a stab knife a skew knife, so the terms are seldom exclusive. Mostly, however, the term "stab knife" is used for a pretty specific tool, one used to make a particular cut, a cuneiform-type impression.

Thanks for giving the correct advice Ivan and John. I rushed in answering and didn't know what the heck I was talking about. Mea culpa or as the kids say now 'my bad'. I have 2 style chip knives though I don't chip much too much. I guess neither one is a stab knife because both cut wood. Neither one stabs in an impression. Well at least I have learned something today.
