HELVIE KNIVES of Tipton, Indiana has invited members of the Caricature Carvers of America to carve a caricature into a specially designed basswood handle of a Helvie Knife as a display collection.  Several CCA members have already carved a handle to highlight the great variety of caricature theme  that can be carved.  The photograph at the left shows a few of them together  while additional photographs that follow will show two views of each individual knife already in the Helvie Knives display collection.

Helvie Knives have become very popular with many carvers with multicolored handles as well a cherry handles with a variety of handle shapes from which to choose.  Some of the CCA members also have autographed their signature collection of knives. 

Rich and Holli  Smithson,  owners and manufacturer of Helvie Knives also provides unfinished basswood handled knives for those carvers who would like to carve their own design  into a knife handle for their own use.  All knife orders and questions can be directed to Rich  and Holli Smithson at:       HELVIE KNIVES,  P.O.
