Wood Carving Tools Set 4 Piece Carving Knife Set KN100, Whittling Knives Include Solid Ash Handle

I do general home shop woodwork, but I also wanted to start carving. I had an opportunity to join a local wood carving group using the groups vast carving tools selection until I felt I was ready to start a set of my own. I like doing much research before my purchase, and covered many different manufacturer's product lines. I selected this set as the heart of my beginning collection of carving tools, and I couldn't have made a better selection. first the Flexcut products are well known, well used, and well liked. These knives are a cinch to sharpen even for a beginner, & hold an edge well. The handle/blade ergonomics make for a solid, well designed balance when making cuts. The 4 tools in this particular set includes the small pelican knife, which their other sets do not include. These are great for detail use. If I could improve on this set, I would add the small detail knife for a set of 5, but you can buy this separately,as I did. Now I am looking at other knives to add, and I am staying with Flexcut products.

This wood-carving knife set is very nice. For the first time in a long time, they came out of the box with adequate edges. I am hard to please in this area, but these blades cut precisely and take a good amount of force without worries. The carrying pouch is quite good, the handles fit snugly in the pockets and don't come loose while carrying it. My favorite of the set for general carving work is the large Pelican knife, the mini-Pelican is great for tiny stuff too. The Cutting blade is very strong with a straight edge, it works well for taking off volume quickly. The Detail knife is also straightedge, but with a thinner spine which is good for getting around/behind other details. The handles all fit my hands well, and depending which side or direction the cut goes I find they work well in either hand. These things are so sharp I wouldn't touch them without the kevlar gloves on.

Tools are great; they're sharp & cut easy. The simple complaints are that the tools do not have any blade protector, and the roll is very rigid. Blades are side by side, so for example the cutting edge of #1 is close to your knuckle while trying to remove #2. I made some blade protectors to help my own peace of mind, and maybe over time the roll will loosen up.

The knives are great. The pouch is rubbish. The knives got stuck to the pouch and had to littery be ripped out.

Sharper and easier to use then other set of knives I have. Love these.

Great

My 2 teenagers just started carving classes and they recommended these to start out with. They are PERFECT! The knives are extremely sharp, and the leather carrying bag is perfect so they don't cut anything else and don't rub against each other, dulling the blades. Warning: After using them for 2 months, the blades did cut through the cheaper leather. We learned not to wrap them so tight and it works better and makes the pouch last longer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I originally was very happy with these knives and was unaware that better quality knives Existed. They came, and remain, Very sharp. They are easy to keep sharp with a leather strop. You get 4 knives for $70 or about $18/knife... Problem is that after 2 months of semi-daily usage, one of the blades in the most used knife now wiggles in the handle and will probably come loose eventually. Also, the pelican knives are of questionable usefulness honestly... And not worth $18 by a long shot. Maybe $10 or $12, so you're getting two useful $25 knives of questionable quality and durability in a tool roll that is totally worthless and exposes only the blade when stored. If I could do it again, I would buy the two non-pelican knives in the kit separately, maybe a $40 version of each from Pfeil or Two Cherries or one of the heirloom quality manufacturers. Skip this one and get 2 better quality knives for your money and you'll be happier.

Muy bien afilados y cortan estupendamente.

I've bought and/or used various knives or cutting tools and this is the best. Just 4 basic blades but just the right design. Easy to sharpen, and lovely case for the knives. Handles are wonderful - very comfortable.
