This GEC Pocket Carver is pretty nice. The red / black micarta looks very good, in hand.
Bonus points if you can tell which number tooth this is...

Nice tooth!
My wife's guess - 30 or 31.
(she worked insurance for a periodontist, so this is just a guess)
Take care and God bless,

Nice knife Doc! Still trying to decide if I should get a orange pocket carver. Good job on the tooth.

Tell her thanks for the guess, Steve. It chews, with #30...the opposing tooth, #3 is the upper right first molar.

Been a while since I had made any geese, so this Canada goose mini just got finished. It is 7 1/4"beak to tail, compared next to the Kamp King knife.

Yes sir! It's definitely not whittling. Very realistic and inspiring to see. ::tu::

There are various carving books available for the mini decoys, which is what these are. I use a pattern book by Anthony Hillman on carving miniature duck decoys. This goose however is not in Hillmans book, but is a full size pattern that I reduced.

Thanks Floyd! Painting isn't my favorite part of the process but it does add a little more detail to things.
