No information about the carver but well beyond my skill of using a knife to sharpen a point.

I don't have any inclination about wanting to do that, but I am curious about what kinds of tools he uses.

A complete set of Festool no doubt. ;)

One was dated 1987. Don't think Festool was an option :)

Very small, very sharp ones.

Bottom right corner. I zoomed in but can't tell what that triangular "tool" is.

Maybe it's because I was distracted by the nicks and blood on his finger tips.

I love the comments. Two of my favorites:

I can carve a pencil into a slightly pointier pencil

*Accidentally starts writing with it

Festool has been around much longer than that.

The tool looks like a # 11 X-acto blade.

I tried carving a pencil, not the lead, a few times. That was hard enough that I would not consider trying the lead.

Hate ot leave a medium out so...
