FLEXCUTCarving Tools 11-Piece Craft Carver Set SK107 | 10 High Carbon Steel Carving Blades and Interchangeable ABS Handle Included

This Carving Kit is awesome! I haven't been carving for long, about a year and a half with a flimsy set that kept breaking if you tried to carve anything more substantial than aspen, and would even break in aspen. On top of that, I really didn't know what I was doing, what the different tools are for. This set has fixed that! I got them for my birthday and was instantly impressed with this set. It comes sharp, but it also comes with a learning project and book that walks you through each tool and how to use it. It discusses the art of relief carving, and how to work with the grain of the wood. The pouch is nice for storing your tools too, which are sharp enough you don't want a kid grabbing hold of them. This also makes it easy for taking with you wherever you might want to go with them.If you don't have a set of clamps for holding your project firm you will want to buy some. You don't want to hold your project in your hand as you will cut yourself doing that. Irwin makes a nice set of bar clamps with hard rubber faces too keep from marring what they hold. These can be adjusted with one hand. I have found they work real well for this and the practice project.

I'm kinda new to wood carving. I own several Flexcut carving knifes and wanted a kit like this. I done my homework and found this to be the best price. It's from Flexcut...got to be good right?...So i bought it.... Man I'm glad i did. This is really a great kit! Extremely sharp and very useful for relief carvings from start to finish....Their just useful all around. The only thing one might want add in the future is an extra handle. Changing the bits is easy and really not a big deal. Heck, i even use them without the handle for small areas, but an extra handle would be useful. Also, i've used them for several months before leaving this feedback.I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about buying it.IT'S A LOT OF FUN!

This set of tools are sharp right out of the box and work great. I had a hard time getting the blades in and out but after about twenty in and outs it got to be easy to remove and insert. I like that I can get other blades or replace a blade if needed and still use same handle.

During a quick shopping walk through at Lowes I picked up a wood carving magazine. I have always like woodworking of any kind but always wanted to try and learn carving. While reading the magazine and learning more about wood carving I realized I needed some tools to start with. The FlexCut tools are a little expensive but I wanted to start out with some good ones so I would have the best chance to succeed. They are really great! Like I said, I am a beginner but these tools seem to make it simple. With this set they sent a stamped piece wood that I started carving on the day I got them and a simple but detailed instruction booklet explaining cutting techniques, angles to the wood grain, and how the different tools are used for different cuts. Great information for beginners and even intermediate carvers. The tools were just like what you see in the pictures. They seem to be made from high quality materials and are polished to a razor sharp edge. Cutting with them has been effortless and actually simple. It has been a really positive and exciting learning experience and I look forward to the future hobby of wood carving because of my start with these tools.The tools are sharp, sturdy, and they interchange with the handle quickly and easily. The handle is comfortable and fits nicely in your hand. And with the supplied pouch it all rolls up in to a small, organized space.The next thing I will purchase from FlexCut is the chisel sharpening tool(not sure of it's name) and compound.To anyone who is serious, I would recommend this as a very worthwhile and project capable set of tools.

This was the first set of gouges I bought. Love them, they are very sharp so detailed work is easy.Do wish I bought extra handles for them!

These came quickly and was a better price than Rockler. As always, extremely sharp and a great value!

Arrived on time and in good condition. Priced very reasonably. All of the pieces were very sharp and have been easy to dress during use. The carrying pouch is a big plus in keeping all of the kit pieces together. This is a good kit for anyone. It has enough variety to handle most jobs. The Amazon price is very hard to beat, as is Flexcut quality.

I had been wanting to get into carving for a while and I figured the best chance of success was to start with quality tools. I received this as a gift and after using them for just a short amount of time I am extremely pleased. They arrived sharp....really sharp. The steel appears to be quality with very nicely honed edges. The included instruction manual and carving block are better than I anticipated offer a nice primer to the craft.Using the various tools could not be easier. They cut like a dream and if you've ever used sharp chisels to cut wood then you know that satisfying sound they make as they cut through wood fibers. There is something soulful about it. Swapping the different tools in and out of the handle is a bit bothersome though and I can see making some dedicated handles. The only negative I can find is the tool roll. I guess I figured it to be leather but is instead a synthetic, almost plastic, material and when rolling up the tools it is possible that they can ding against each other. I still feel that this doesn't detract from the kit in any way.
