Thanks. Good instructions. Calm, clear, concise.

There is no getting around cheap carving tools, don't waste your money. I have a set that I thought was pretty good but, when I compare them to a set that cost me a little more money, there is no comparison. It is not the way to learn to carve. Some hold an edge longer then others. I like my carving tools to be sharp and hold an edge. I have bought several Drake and Dockyard carving tools and they are for me very good quality. They also hold an edge. Thank you Van for the enlightening video.

Amen, I know it's hard to swallow cost for a good knife, But one good knife is a good start! Thanks and take care

Hey Van - those cheap tools just aren't sharp and CAN be sharpened. Some very respected and expensive UK chisel makers even send their tools out unfinished so you can put your own edge on. Not sharp doesn't mean it's always trash, just a harder step for beginners.
Cheap tools usually show up by not having misshapen ends/poorly finished, too thick or thin metal, bad handles or not holding an edge for any length of time.
I do agree with the overall message though. Buy the best you can afford and a blunt tool is a dangerous one.

I made the harbor freight mistake. 🤦‍♂️
My first quality knife was like a dream come true.

I purchased Helvie and Drake tools, but it will take a lot of time. I placed the order when both companies were facing difficulties. I will probably have to wait another year..

I told people who i was helping that it is better to have 3 good tools than a full set cheap ones

[@rjvcescobar]

What is "R60"

[@urmelausdemeis3495]

Vermutlich Rockwell , HRC, die Härte des Stahls.

[@vankellywoodcarvings]

Yes, it is the hardness of the steel used in making the knife.

[@rjvcescobar]
