    This looks like your typical made in china set you can find easily on Temu etc. What do you think of this quality? Sharp? Hold the edge? That tool roll looks nice. I started with a set like this and have begun upgrading to Flexcut, some Beavercraft, and I have a Helvee (sp?). I’m not experienced enough to really tell the difference. No idea how you use some of those tools. Most of the various tools I have work as long as you strop frequently….I can definitely feel the difference in a newly stropped tool.

    • @whittling
      @whittling 15 днів тому

      Thanks for your question. Yes, I'm sure these tools were made in China and some of them don't seem to be very useful for the type of carving that I do. Although the factory edge was sharp, some of the tools still had a burr on the edge that needed to be removed and one tool did have a chip in the edge. The steel is OK but does not hold an edge as good as BeaverCraft or Flexcut. The tool roll is actually pretty nice.

I get that it’s an option, but I haven’t used one that I would pick up again except for opening a package. The shape of the blade has meaning!

      Hi Joe! Thanks for your question. I often decide to modify my original plan while carving. The reason varies due to wood grain direction, how I like the look, or in some cases I think about making the carving easier for a beginner carver. The drawing is just a conceptual idea not a pattern. Happy carving!
