SibyTech Wood Carving Tools 5 in 1 Knife Set - Includes Cut Resistant Gloves, Hook Knife, Whittling Knife, Detail Knife, Carving Knife Sharpener for Spoon Bowl Cup Kuksa Woodworking

These are amazing, ok so I cut my finger almost as soon as I took one out of the tool roll so I knew they were very sharp. The handles and blades are great quality, smooth finish and no doubt cou,d be used on various mediums like polymer clay.The handles are really comfortable to use and of course the tool roll/pouch is great for keeping them together and protecting the blades. The kit contains a piece of leather and a block of jewellers rouge, I know what this is because I used to use these when I did leather carving some years ago and a strop was used for keeping the swivel knife sharp. It’s called jewellers rouge as it is used by jewellers for polishing jewellery too. Anyway these are a great buy and I recommend them, watch your fingers though!

I brought these carving tools as I do alot of whittling and general wood carving and these knives are for the low price guaranteed to do the job , little intricate details can be done with the three variety of blade type , the handles are comfortable to hold, the blades as I say in the brief vid are very easy to sharpen using the leather , and the set rolls up compact and lightweight safe and secure when straps are tied when pouch closed, all in all a lovely set, ideal for learners of wood carving etc, quite fast delivery and overall very happy 😊

I started with the set and thought they were absolute rubbish. But. Having been on lockdown and spent a reasonable amount of time it with stones and strops, I've managed to put a razor edge on these. No, they're not the best tools and yes, you'll probably want to replace them in the not too distant future, but for 15 quid they're really not that bad, will sharpen to a decent standard (with time and effort) and will probably serve you until you know what you really want to buy moving forwards. If you know anything about carving, these are probably not for you. But as a starter set where you're going to make a lot of mistakes, to be fair, it's a cheap introduction and you could do worse.

I was dubious about these but I thought it was worth a try even just to get a nice roll bag.They do neeeld a bit of work when you get them, a little bit of sharpening. I made some sandpaper paddles that fit in the tool roll, and used a cutoff of metal pipe with two different grits of sandpaper each end (600, 1200). These, combined with the strop, and many videos on sharpening, allow me to get razor sharp edges on these tools. Inside the tube I keep a Sharpie so I can mark the edges to check I'm sharpening correctly. They then hold the edge well, especially if you strop regularly. If you're carving you do need to learn how to sharpen, so it's really just part of the craft. The hook knife needed the most work, the whittling one was very sharp out the box.I've made some spooons and egg cups with these so far, and they are, honestly, as good as a Mora to me. I expected to want to keep my Mora carving knife with the roll and swap out the one included but honestly, the finish on the handle and the shape of the handles feel much more ergonomic to me and cause less friction on the hand, after many hours carving, I find these to be better in my hands. Also having this shape really helps edge alignment for both carving and sharpening, rather than a very rounded handle. They're also beautiful, I think, I love the colour of the handles. The tool roll works well, it's easy to grab and go knowing you have everything you need, sharpening included if you add your own extras.Basically, absolutely fantastic value. Unbelievable how they have managed it.

I started playing with whittling a while ago (my usual medium is metal, but it's a bit kit intensive), and I was a bit getting to the point where a penknife was getting more a danger to my fingers than to the offcuts I used. So I decided to buy the basics, and found that kit. And I'm glad I did, it will serve me well, and is a really nice way to start out.The tools are sharp out of the pouch (and the strop provided is a nice touch), well protected by the wrap itself, and best of all, the wood handles fit just as they had been made for my hands. Spent a few minutes this morning playing with it, and it produced nice, even chips, no need to push too much, and allowed me to put constant pressure on the wood, so I don't fear the usual slip-and-cuts. Really pleased with it, don't know how it will age but I'm quite confident it will be just fine.

These are very cheap, and you get what you pay for; but if you want to give spoon carving a go this is an inexpensive way to try it. (This whole set costs about the same as one decent blade). all the tools are larger than they ideally would be for spoon carving but if you know how, they sharpen up ok and are serviceable. The handles don’t feel like they’ll last long but the blades could be re-mounted. They seem to be cheap stainless steel (not carbon) but I got a decent edge with a little work. Suitable for trying if you are a beginner. Basic economy knives in a nicely presented set.

I got these to see if me and my son could do a little carving project. We both absolutely love going for long walks in the woods and often come across little snapped off branches.With school out I'm trying every day to find more things to keep him occupied.They are extremely sharp tools so I wouldn't recommend them for smaller children, my son is 12 and so safe with supervision.We've had a little go, it's a lot harder than the YouTube videos make it look 😂I guess it's a skill you build up over time. I tried to do an owl, which was a tad optimistic for a complete novice.So I'm scaling back and going for just some basic shapes to begin with, to get used to using the tools.It's really fun even if you don't succeed. We are finding more and more we're making fluke things, just blind carving a shape that ends up looking like something.Yesterday the one I carved looked like a dolphin so I rolled with it I just need to do the tail.
