Hutsuls Wood Whittling Kit for Beginners - Razor Sharp Wood Carving Knife Set in Beautifully Designed Gift Box, Whittling Knife for Kids and Adults (8 Pieces)

Great quality for a beginner set. Performed well on my first project. Razor sharp. Thanks for providing a great product.

Made well and seem durable. Blade are sharp and handles easily fit your hands.

This kit may be the nicest thing I've ever bought on Amazon. The package is a beautiful little box that somehow manages to hold the entire kit, safety gloves and all. I know very little about whittling - I bought this more to exercise my tired hands after eight hours a day on computers - but this seems like a set that even an experienced whittler would enjoy. The gloves meet the The European Standard for Protective Gloves, EN 388, at the highest level, a 5. That's great for older guys like me who lack the hand dexterity of twenty years ago! Each blade is carefully shaped and sharpened, and fastened to simple but gorgeous wood handles. My only complaint - and this is MY problem, not Hutsuls' - is that the hook blade appears to be geared toward right-handedness, and I'm left handed, so it looks like I may not be able to use it properly. (I might try reaching out to the company to request a left-handed version.) All in all, just absolutely beautiful. It was a joy to unwrap and I've used it the last three evenings to whittle simple ball shapes, and as I said, loosen the cramping from typing on computers all day. p.s. Don't leave the green polishing compound out in bright sun. I melted mine severely (sigh). It's perfectly functional, but not the nice rectangle it once was ;-) Thank you Hutsul!

The product description had me think I might get some deluxe knives for an unbelievable bargain. I feel like I got a believable bargain. They aren't the best knives I have, but they're well worth the price. Pretty sharp out of the box, much better after 30 seconds on a strop. The blades are thin, but seem pretty decent, and I didn't have any really nice knives in these sizes. The handles could use a little sanding, but that's cosmetic. They're comfortable enough, and I like that they aren't varnished. I'll probably use a little linseed oil after I sand them, just because. Good starter set, or a very good upgrade from a crappy starter set.

Decent quality and price. I haven't used it yet but it will definitely get the job done.

I haven't used these a lot yet, but so far have been impressed with how well designed they are, how well they work, how easily they cut (very sharp!), and how very comfortable they are in my hand.

A starter set but I'm not a beginner. I just started doing spoons and needed a sharp hook knife. The other stuff is extra for me. They come carver sharp! Nice kit bag to keep things orderly too. And no cut gloves which I've needed in the past. Too many bloody carvings.

My son told me that he would like to try wood carving. This set is perfect as a starter kit. It comes in a wrap which I think is important. If you have not yet begun the craft you start from by shopping. Having an well rounded kit is important. The knives sharpen well. When you mature in the craft you know what works and how to carve you begin to learn what is important to you. One thing that is important is that you can hold and manipulate the knives well and can sharpen quickly. The most over thought quality in shopping is how sharp they come. If you carve you will need to sharpen it yourself, so it is not a concern. Simple, good geometry, good price and compact. It's the best way to begin. I'm very satisfied with this kit.

Perfect set for a beginner. All edges were sharp and comfortable handles. Need honing often but I am working with cottonwood bark and this is apparently common. I am well pleased. When I am ready to replace with higher quality, I will set this set aside for my grandson.

I found the handles to be short, bare unfinished and small in diameter. This unfortunately let down the excellent blades. Maybe okay for a child but not an adult.

For wood carving.

Looks good , though haven't used much
