Best detail knife next to Helvie

It's a mistake to ignore established blade smiths up here in the Pacific Northwest.

I’m going to recommend Drake knives. I love them, and they are beautiful. Not really cheap, though ($37 on average). Bonnie, Gil, and their son make all of the knives, I believe. All around good people, made in USA, and a great product. They also make tons of palm gouges. Including all sizes, they makes hundreds of different tools.

Attached is a picture of my three favorites.

Sheep’s foot
Mini detail (maybe what you’re looking for)

Thanks everyone. Was trying to get a detail occ at chipping away here in Canada and they were out of stock. Trying another company now and if they don’t pan out gonna go for the drake detail I think. Cheers
