Carving Knife #3 is a carving, shaving and scraping tool. The beveled edge of the Carving Knife is ideal for shaving wax. Removing too much material at once often results in over cutting and cracked waxes. It is better to remove material a sliver or shaving at a time. When shaving or scraping along a curve, pivot the tool as you follow the curve to maintain optimum cutting action. Use the back edge of the Carving Knife #3 as a scraper. Lay Knife flat on the surface of the wax, slightly lift up long front edge of the Knife and scrape toward yourself. If material is not removed with each stroke, adjust the angle of the tool until you achieve the optimum cutting angle.
