FLEXCUTCarving Tools

Sharp, effective carving tools.

Very nice quality. Perfect for carving woodblock for printing. Great size for total control. Nice looking set

Well designed with nicely shaped handles that fit comfortably in the palm of my hand. They even come in a wooden storage box.

I ain't a noobie, just adding needed profiles to my other Flexcuts. I smiled when I opened the very nice wooden box, then I guffawed when seeing the bright yellow dispenser containing Band-Aids. What a brilliant marketing ploy to get a safety point across!Trust me if you're new, they are sharp and can bite you if you're not paying attention. I've worn my fair share of Band-Aids over the years.But these Flexfits are the real deal, sharp, good looking and well made. To top it off Flexcut can be depended on for quality and first rate customer service. Yes, recommended!Though labeled as "beginner", the steel, materials and workmanship quality remains the same through the Flexcut offerings.Killing 2 birds with one stone (in one review) last week I also ordered the M390, 3 mm mixed profile set. Accolades remain the same.Enjoy!.

Great set. All 4 tools are very useful and perfect for carving caricatures along with Flexcut knives.

I wont give this a 5 star only because I am new to the hobby and don't know if there are better tools out there for the money. Now that said the research I did showed these to be highly regarded American made products, and to substantiate that I have no qualms about them. I use all the tools in the kit, and am learning how to use them and how they carve. My kids also use these tools and we are all in agreement that for carving the wood spirits they are by far superior than just a knife. I have gotten good detail using them, especially for hair using the v tool. I have not sharpened them yet, tho they may need to be sharpened now. Out of the box they were razor sharp and I cut myself (cute gimmick, they ship with a band aid with the company name on it). It would be nice if they came with some instructions on techniques to hold them and a description of how they cut, and how to sharpen them. As its on the job learning for me, but tht is part of the fun, right? Including a strope for those size and shape tools in the box would have been nice too. The little wooden box came with a piece broken, but I glued it back together. The box is a great thing to keep and store them. I am very happy with them and think they will be a good foundation kit to build on once I learn how to use them better and figure out what additional sizes and shape tools I want in the future (if any). I am VERY HAPPY with them and recommend them to any beginner, especially someone looking to do kind of small carving of wood spirits (Im carving faces that are aprox 2 inches by 4 inches).

Great palm set for the price. they come sharp and easy to keep sharp with a cloth wheel and compound. I am currently using them on Maple and they work great. Now the tools are a bit thin (compared to Pfeil tools) but I have no complaints.

These are nice little chisels. You need to practice to get good results, but once you get the hang of holding them in the palm, they are really nice. My only complaint is that the box is cheap. I get that most people throw away the box. But, they fit so nicely inside, I just wish that it was a bit more robust.
