General Carving Sloyd Knife (C4)

Nicely made blade for whittling away at sticks in the woods. Grip very comfy in hand and brace pretty sharp to start with! Overall good value

Very Sharp, very good although i've only used a couple of times so far, it's made the mark with carving candles at least.

For what I am using this for it's fine. It arrived sharp so that was a bonus, however, dropped a star as it wasn't long before It required stropping. Therein lies my main gripe with this knife. Yes, you can strop it to a good sharp edge, it just does not keep it for as long as some other brands. As I said at the start, for what I am using it for it's fine, but if you want it as your main Sloyd knife, you'll be stropping a lot.

Bought as a present but recipient says it is very comfortable and easy to use. He would recommend it.

Good quality item

Really good little knife. Seems to hold an edge well and sharpens easy what more do you need.

Nicely made tool cuts well keeps its edge , laughed at the inclusion of a bandaid in the box

Excellent Quality, very sharp, very good value and very easy to use, feels comfortable in your hand, found it so good I went and bought the knife kit , I would definitely recommend

Bel objet pour débuter la sculpture sur bois. Le couteau est très aiguisé, son manche en bois est agréable au toucher et ergonomique. J'apprécie les petites attentions du fabricant (2 pansements fournis dans la boîte, c'est à la fois drôle et prévoyant). J'ai pu réaliser mes premières créations sans souci et j'aime toujours autant tenir ce petit couteau à bois en main. La taille est idéale selon moi pour convenir à la plupart de vos besoins.

Supertollus Produkt, das Messer ist schön scharf und liegt perfekt in der Hand. Ein Werkzeug auf das kein Schnitzer verzichten sollte!

First wood carving knife, long time knife owner. Great knife, comfortable in hand. A bit long for the size work I’m doing so I’m ordering shorter ones. But it did this bear with ease! Not razor sharp from factory but sharp enough. I kept sharpener handy and I think this will last me a long while. Not a bad price either. Definitely a great tool to get me away from anxiety driven doom scrolling.

Me gustó su forma y su filo, son muy adecuados para el trabajo de talla de madera que yo realizo

So I picked up the knives from Purolator yesterday. I didn't have any green wood on hand, so I just worked up a little scoop out of dry pine. So I guess it's easiest to break this up into pros and cons. Pros: -Both of the knives were more comfortable that I suspected they would be. -Both blades were very sharp out of the package. -the steel seems to be of a very suitable thickness and both have a profile that lets them cut well. - the carving blade cuts very well, and I would say just as well as the Mora carving knives I have. - both blade styles seem to be set securely into the handles. -neither of the blades needed to be resharpened after having carved the pine scoop. Cons: - the hook shape of the hook knife it too tight of a shape for most spoon and bowl carving. It doesn't allow for the long sweeping cuts needed for the bowl of the spoon. If it were closer in length to the carving knife with the curve gradually increasing toward the tip of the knife, it would be far more effective. The Mora hook knives suffer from the same design flaw. However, for small scoops, they do a fair job. - the inside of the hook blade is slightly convex. This doesn't effect it's sanity to effectively cut, but is a difficult shape to resharpen. A Flat or concave surface is what's necessary for the inside of a hook knife. - the carving knife has a gap where the blade meets the handle. It's a small criticism, but aesthetics matter to some and can make a difference. - the round hole in the handle that the blade is driven into is secure, but I fear over time, the repeated pressure on the blade may cause it to wiggle loose. It makes sense as a cost saving method, but I would recommend the addition of epoxy. - the handle shape of the straight carving knife should be thicker with a more oval crossection. It's current handle is not uncomfortable, but would benefit from more body. That said, the profile of the handle is very good, and I like the the way it feels in my hand. I just prefer the a more oval shape in the thickness of a handle. - the copper collar on the hook knife I received is not tight and spins on the handle. Over all, I really enjoyed using the knives. I won't get much use out of the hook knife for the reasons listed above, but I will definitely be using the straight carving knife. It's a very good blade and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
