[Types and use of carving knives] Introduce several main carving knives and their uses

The cutter is the most direct assistant and partner in wood carving. In the process of making woodcarving, the carving knife and its auxiliary tools play a very important role. The knives are complete and can be sharpened and used. Not only can it improve work efficiency, but also give full play to your skills in modeling, make the cutting knife clean and free, clear and smooth, and increase the artistic expression of the work.

There are many types of carving knives, the following introduces several main knives and their uses.

1. Flat knife: The cutting edge is straight, mainly used to shovel the unevenness of the surface of the wood to make it smooth and seamless. The large model is used to chisel large-scale wood carvings, and has a blocky surface. It can be applied effectively, such as the brushstroke effect of painting, which is strong, vivid and natural. The sharp edges of the flat knives have a strong wooden taste.

2. Round knife: The cutting edge is arc-shaped, and it is mostly used in round and round dents. It is also very useful in carving traditional flowers. The round knife is relatively labor-saving to transport the knife horizontally, and can adapt to large fluctuations and small changes. Moreover, the line of the round knife is uncertain, it is flexible to use and easy to explore.

3. Diagonal knife: The edge of the blade is at an oblique angle of about 45 degrees, which is mainly used in the joint corners and hollow slits of the work for ticking light. If you engrave the corners of your eyes, a diagonal knife is better. The oblique knife is divided into forehand oblique and backhand oblique to suit all directions.

4. China Steel Knife: The edge of the blade is triangular. Because its front face is on the left and right sides, the sharp point is on the middle corner. Therefore, the heavier the pressure, the thicker the line carved by the triangle knife, and the thinner the other way round. Triangular knife is mainly used to engrave hair and engrave decorative lines. During operation, the triangular knife tip is pushed on the wood plate, and the wood chips are spit out from the triangular groove, and the line pushed by the triangular knife tip is carved.

The auxiliary tools of wood carving mainly include hammer hammer, axe, saw and wooden file. The purpose of the axe is to match the billet and cut a large amount of wood. Note that it is not appropriate to use too much force when cutting. Do not cut straight up and down. The axe blade should be kept at about 45 degrees to the vertical wood grain. Otherwise, the wood will crack. The purpose of the wood file is mainly in the fine blank stage of the round carving. It can replace the flat knife to flatten the knife mark for smoothing, and can also replace the round knife or oblique knife for hollowing treatment.
