It can also be used to cut wooden eating dishes such as chopsticks or tools for mixing food when cooking pots. Jackknife users can carve a number of notching wooden sticks to fit together to create stands for holding cakes over fire or make fish cooker from straight and curved bars.RS, rats and whistles. Some woodcarvers even make toys from a piece of cedar with jackknife. Wooden bowls can also be carved with Jackknife and of course virtually any type of statue is possible with the right piece of wood.
