How To Use A Twca Cam Knife Tutorial
Ғылым және технология
Got a Twca Cam and want to get the best out of it? Well, you are in luck!
This is a short tutorial on how to get the most out of your knife. It's basically a distillation of my course I have run over the past few years at Spoonfest.
I take you through the hand positioning and movements you need to maximise the knifes potential AND keep you safe while doing it.
Thanks for watching!
As ever, if you have any questions, let me know in the comments

Great video, Owen, I have two twca cams and have struggled with them. This is very enlightening.
Thank you for making this.
Thanks for the knowledge passed Owen 👍

Excellent Owen, I was pretty close but good to know of a few fine tuning tips. Thanks Sean

No problem man 🙏
Wow. Thanks Owen. And here I’ve been thinking for well over a year, “I wonder what Twca cam stands/is an abbreviation for”. Did I do the simple, smart thing and do a google search. Yeah, 5 minutes ago 😂🤦♂️ Thanks for the tips. I like the natural stop at the front of the spoon’s bowl. Gonna save me at least one good nick. Well, just finished stropping my Twca, time to go have fun. Cheers!
Thank you so much. I have one but tried it only once, didn't know how to properly use it. I'll try again 😃

Brilliant! Thanks a tone. I have the Ben one and think I've sharpened it wrong but turns out I've been using it wrong too haha

If you havent seen it already, check out my hook knife sharpening video. It transfers over to twca cam too
I don't have a Twca cam (yet) but I'm going to watch this anyway.

Hi, Owen--In your opinion, how much does 'Left Hand' or 'Right Hand' specs matter.
Great video. Thank you. I am thinking of buying the Nic Westerman twca but unsure whether to go for the 50mm or 65mm . Any guidance you can give in this respect? Many thanks.

I use the 65mm as I find that it is the best size for making eating spoons s they tend to have shallow bowls. The 50mm would probably be great for stuff like scoops or hollowing out kuksa. I only have the 65mm one though

@@OwenThomaswoodcraft Many thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate that.
Being right handed, I often have problem with the front right edge, I can get it as thin as the left edge without making a mistake; do you think I can use a TWCA cam on a shallow spoon for that edge?

Yeah, give it a go. Everyone works differently so just have a try and see if it works for you
Great, thanks. I'll have a go with mine now, had it almost a year and not really used it. Can it be used for an egg shaped bowl also or just round bowls?
