FLEXCUTWood Carving Tools Beginner Palm & Knife Set KN600, 1095 High Carbon Steel Blades and Ergonomic Ashwood Handles

the flexcut tools sharpen nicely and are easy to use. i have arthritis and the knives are more comfortable that the pocket knives i have been using. the gouges work great but they are a little hard on my hands. i think the quick connect power handle would be better for the gouges. ill have to try that with the snap in gouges.

Ive used Beaver Craft for a few years since I started carving and finally tried Flex Cut. Really nice tools. Sharp right out of the pack. I feel like the handles on the knives are a bit fat but they can be easily reshaped to my your liking. The blades are thinner than BC blades. Feel like the thickness lends to a bit easier cut.

The knives come razor sharp out of the box. (Be careful unpacking them!) They appear to be very high quality with polished blades, and they whittle and hold an edge like a dream. I wish I'd gotten them sooner. If you're a beginner and considering these, buy them!

The handles are very ergonomic, even for very small petite hands like mine. I’m so happy I decided to spend a little extra for the quality that these provide. The blade is very strong and extremely sharp. It was so sharp that I’ve cut my hands by accident several times now. My only advice is to buy a leather strop and some compound if you don’t have any already to keep these superb tools in top condition. Take care of your tools and they’ll take care of you.

I bought Flexcut Beginner Palm & Knife Set, All-Purpose Cutting Knife and Detail Knife Included, with 2 Palm Tools (KN600) based on reviews in the carving world.Pros:• Carving sharp out of the box!• Hold an edge well• Knife handles are ergonomic and comfortableCons:• The two palm tools are not very comfortable for extended use.• Palm tools are relatively thin compared to other brands.For beginners through professionals. Excellent quality tools!

Well made and come “carving sharp” from Flexcut.

This set is all you really need to carve just about anything.However I did return this item because I decided to go a different direction with my hobbies.

I got these to try them out and have not been disappointed. Very sharpe out of the box and can start utilizing immediately without sharpening like you need to with other knives. Would definitely recommend, especially for beginners. Just make sure you’re paying attention to hand placement if you are a newbie. It’ll slice through your hand before you know it, I’m sure. Otherwise, loving the overall size and durability so far.
