BeaverCraft Deluxe Wood Carving Kit S18X - Wood Carving Knife Set - Spoon Carving Tools Set - Whittling Knives - Woodworking Wood Carving Tools Large Whittling Kit S18X

I use these in my shop class with students. They have been a great addition to our tool lineup. They are VERY SHARP. I paired them with the kevlar gloves to help avoid accidental harm while they learn how to carve. So far they are very durable, have right sized handles for easy handling, and are a good value.

Where to begin? These knives are razor-sharp as advertised AND they hold their edge quite well, even putting up with the abuse I (as a new whittler) gave them. They are ergonomic and obviously manufactured with care and quality control (unlike 99% of the "mystery brands" you see on Amazon these days). I love that this set includes a full-spread of knives, from chip carving to spoon/hook knives, you're set - everything you need is in this case, even polishing compound!The leather case is HANDSOME , super thick, gorgeous leather. I'd buy this set just for the case it's so nice. Beyond being pretty, it's nice because it protects your knives and more importantly protects YOU from them. There is no accidentally reaching in and cutting yourself with this case as there is an internal flap that lays over the blades you have to lift.I bought a chisel/gouge set from Beavercraft and a bunch of basswood too, i was so impressed. this set is affordable but nothing to scoff at in terms of quality; i think any seasoned carver would be happy to use these knives!I later found out this is a Ukrainian Company - all the more reason to support Beavercraft; small businesses like this are going to be the backbone of the new economy once the goblins are vanquished.Buy them. They're great!

This is a good selection of knives, with a convenient pouch to store them and carry them around.I got these to give spoon carving a try. It includes a gouge that I hardly ever use and a bowl cutter that I use a lot to scoop out the material in the bowl of the spoon. Be careful when using it on hardwoods, as well as softwood spoons I've carved one spoon out of walnut and another out of red oak. If you slip with this particular knife the results might not be pretty. Don't ask how I know this.Operator error aside, the blades work well, they are nice and sharp right out of the box, and the set is a good place to start if you want to try wood carving.

Decent set of knives but not as sharp as expected. Especially spoon knife and gouge.

The blades were very sharp right out of the package. The leather tool roll is very well made and for me it seems a bit overly bulky.The variety of knives is great as I am learning about different carving techniques.I was really disappointed this morning when the hook knife snapped while I was scraping out the inside of a walnut spoon. I consider myself reasonably fit, but for this tool to break was a surprise. I had hollowed out the spoon with a Forster bit, then used paring knives to shape the hollow of the spoon. I was using the hook knife to shape things further and then *snap*I’ll be searching for another brand of hook-knife since this was my first purchase of this kind of tool and I’m not sure how durable they should be.Update: vendor reached out via Amazon and they are sending a replacement. Great service!Update#2 I received the replacement and the hook knife has been working great. Honestly I was expecting a replacement for just the hook knife- but I received a replacement of the full set I originally purchased. Vendor definitely went above and beyond!!

Amazing, high quality & durable knives. Sharp and perfect for wood working. Highly recommend! These are fun to use and all the various shapes and sizes come in handy. Great knife set!

Great for beginners! Easy to use and sharpen as needed

I recently purchased the S18X Delux Wood Carving Knife Set from Beaver Craft. I am retired and just took up this hobby of wood carving. A few of my initial crude carvings are shown above (beer bottle, pretzel, cat, piano). The knife tools are very well made and ergonomically friendly. I found whittling gloves to be very important since the blades are razor sharp and it's easy to cut yourself, especially when inexperienced. The leather tool kit holder is especially nice looking and has a high quality look and feel.I did have one knife blade with a very narrow sharp tip to break in early use. Since they have a knife warranty, I requested a free single knife replacement via email (I attached a knife photo). They quickly responded and sent me a whole new kit! Wow!! That was unnecessary and I am trying to inquire about returning it for just the single knife replacement. In any case, the customer response was very fast and much better than you would find with most companies these days. I strongly endorse Beaver Craft for their quality products and service. Wish more venders were like this.

Lovely set of carving tools in a good quality leather roll. Great handles and very ergonomic to hold. I’ve not had chance to use them yet but the blades look sharp!

大変使いやすいです

Beau matériel de sculpture sur bois , qualité au RDV

I am extremely impressed with these.. What craftsmanship. The handles are all made to fit your hands perfectly, will definitely be easy to use. Such a great set at this price, can't beat it. Awesome for people just starting out, and for people who have been at it for years. This set not only looks amazing, it is.

Ottimo acciaio e un buon assortimento di utensili . L' ho provato su diversi tipi di legno e non mi pento di aver acquistato questo prodotto . Ottimo per entry level.
