Mine was already fairly sharp, but I went ahead and sharpened it further. It could also be determined by the type of wood you're attempting to carve.

Knives made in large quantities are rarely sharpened properly. It's no different with this knife. The blade is unusually thick for a carving knife and is sharpened at a pocket knife angle of 25 degrees on one side, whereas real carving knives are much thinner and sharpened at 12 degrees on one side, allowing the knife to glide through the wood much more easily. br>As it stands, making a stop cut in soft basswood would necessitate the use of a hydraulic press. br>As a result, you should expect to spend a significant amount of time regrinding the blade to the proper angle. This assumes you have the proper sharpening equipment as well as the ability to regrind a blade without damaging it. br>The best carving knives in the world cost only $30 and come sharpened and guaranteed for life. br>As a result, at $15, I am unable to recommend these knives. It's simply not worth the trouble. br>br>However, once it's been regrinded, this knife is serviceable.
Right out of the box, it's razor sharp. This whittling knife is a lot more comfortable to use than my pocket knives. The swell in the handle fills the palm nickey, giving you more control. The blade is well-made and holds an excellent edge. br>br>The finish isn't very good. They used wood putty to bridge the gap between the blade and the handle. This isn't a problem in terms of functionality, but they didn't even sand the wood putty, giving it a Mickey Mouse appearance. br>br>Overall, this is a very functional tool with few frills.
After a few hours of carving and a light stropping every half-hour, The knife keeps its sharpness for an hour. The handle didn't give me any hotspots. For a beginner's knife, this knife exceeds my expectations.
Right out of the box, I liked the knife's appearance. It appears to be the ideal gift for my grandson. After being so pleased with the first one, I decided to order a second one. br>ON THE OTHER HAND, the Amazon page's description says in two places: "How to Sharpen a Hook Knife in 5 Easy Steps" and "How to Sharpen a Woodcarving Knife," as well as "How to Prevent Knives from Rusting" - Ebooks are available for free! "br>andbr>"How to Sharpen a Hook Knife in 5 Easy Steps" and "How to Sharpen a Woodcarving Knife" - Chris Malcolm, a spoon carver, has released a set of free eBooks. "br>However, the QR code on the box as well as the written internet address on the box do not work. There is no way to obtain the books that I am aware of. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. br>I bumped up my rating from 2 to 5. The eBooks are supposed to arrive in the mail a week after purchase; mine came yesterday. The knives themselves appear to be exactly what we need. They were razor sharp right out of the box, and a few strokes on a strop block finished them off. There are more expensive knives available that may be of interest in the future, but these knives are inexpensive and will serve as excellent starter knives to see how serious the boys are about their wood carving endeavors. After that, we'll look at different knife types and styles.
Apart from a few "Harry Potter" Wands, I am an amateur carver who had never sculpted anything before this. This was my first attempt with this knife, and after a few hours, I had something I was quite pleased with. It's not perfect, but it's good enough for me, and I'm still tweaking it. When you're trying to get the right cut, the knife fits perfectly in your hand and provides a very comfortable grip. The blade is razor sharp, as I discovered when I slipped while cutting the block and cut my thumb. If you order this knife, keep the blade sheath for storage when the knife is not in use; it wasn't deep, but it was enough to cut it pretty well with minimal contact. This knife is fantastic!!.
I'm so glad Beaver Craft sent me this carving knife! I can whittle for hours, despite the fact that my hands aren't particularly strong. I had been using a subpar knife, but once I tried this one, it was night and day. br>I don't usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so this time because I am so grateful for their excellent service.
I recently purchased a chip carving/cutting knife. I have quite a few chip carving knives in my collection. This knife has a sturdy blade and a comfortable handle that fits my hand comfortably. I dressed the blade with a fine ceramic stone and strop for about 10 minutes at most and had a razor sharp knife ready to use. The price is significantly less than that of many other chip carving knives. I'd recommend this knife to anyone just starting out carving or looking for a good workhorse knife at a reasonable price; I've also purchased a couple of other products from this company and have been pleased with all of them.
When people say that low-cost, low-quality goods are good for beginners, I always find it amusing. You'll want to stop whittling after seeing this knife. It isn't the worst knife in the world. I was able to carve a few projects, but the process was not enjoyable. I have two major complaints about this knife: the thick blade and the handle.
- The blade is only 2 to 3 times as thick as it should be. As a result, in order to make a cut, too much metal must be pushed through the wood. It's dangerous because you need to use so much force. It's just a little too thick for my liking. It isn't dull, but it isn't razor sharp, and it needs to be stroped frequently.
- The handle is fine, but it isn't quite round enough for my tastes. It has a few hotspots where blisters and callouses form. With a thinner blade, the handle might perform better, but it's awkward to use as is. br>br>Bottom line: get a Flexcut; it's a little more expensive, but it's still a good deal; I want carving to be as simple, enjoyable, and efficient as possible, and this knife doesn't help with any of those things. If you're just getting started, the last thing you want to do is grind a blade down to the proper thickness, as others suggest, especially since you probably don't have those tools. To begin, just get a Flexcut because you'll want to replace this knife with one eventually.
