FLEXCUTSlipStrop, Polish and Debur Cutting and Carving Tools For Razor Sharp Blade Edges

I have bought this same thing twice now. I wore out the first one after several years and am now on my second one. Perfect for difficult to sharpen chisels and gouges.I wouldn’t hate it if it was a little bigger, but it gets the job done.

Good.

Like the concept but feel compound is too aggressive. It is too easy to miscalculate the edge angle resulting in rounding off.Mind the videos don't use too much pressure or too many strokes. Start slow and easy.I find that using the typical green stroping compound will remove the burr and polish the edge just fine.The contours are quite helpful for inside burr removal and I'll definitely use and do recommend.

Why didn't I know about this before? It easily keeps my tools sharp and without burns. 5 out of 5!

Great tool

it does its job! sharpened my tools with no problem

I purchased this block to sharpen a cheap set of linocut tools. It felt like extra money at the time but it's saved me money by being able to properly care for my carving tools. The block is great and used after sharpening stones has helped my tools last so much longer.

I have just taken up wood carving as a hobby and started out with a selection of Flexcut knives and chisels. I have a selection of expensive sharpening devices and have always been able to put a razor edge on any knife I own, but I had to get “creative” when it came to honing and stroping the edges on some of the smaller chisels including using an old cardboard box or a rolled up piece of leather.Then, while looking for books on relief carving I saw this and thought to myself “why not”. Now that I’ve had it for about a week I’m confident enough to give it a well tested review.The varying shapes has taken any hassle out of keeping my working edge razor sharp. While there are a few that are not the exact shape of the tool, it’s easy enough to lean the edge to one side or the other to make good contact. My only complaint, which seems to have been voiced in other reviews, is the compound bar tends to become “powdery” if not warmed up a bit first.Overall, this simple little wooden block has helped me to streamline my work flow. No more miscellanious stuff cluttering up my work space unnecessarily. If you’re looking for an easy low cost way to keep your edges sharp, this is for you!Happy Carving!
