<DIV>Good morning Arthur, isn't it nice to see the sun today? Here are
some knives that I make out of Masonry nails. You can buy a 1 pound box for
around $3.00, thats over 50 nails, or tools.</DIV>

<DIV><BR>And now let us move on to other topics - does anyone have a
burning <BR>woodcarving question for this fine Friday?<BR></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I hope this is a good question for this group. I have been looking
at mini carving knives lately since I have gotten into carving miniature
carving and other items that require small blades. Looked at several and
thought they were to high priced. </DIV>
