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! [...]
