Really wanna know? Ok, here goes,

Go to a flee market and buy some old crappy pocket knives. Break the blades off. That's what I use. I make sure that the break is as close to a perfect 90 degree andle as possible. I use the point.

I'll post some pictures of my knives.

 

Nice horns, you have the nak, would love to see some close-up's of your carvings.
