UJ Ramelson Co Old Forge Whittlin Fun 3pc Woodcarving Kit with Carry Case (1 Set)

Very great set of knives at a good price. Steel was extremely sharp on arrival. So sharp they cut through the canvas sheath they came with almost immediately. BE CAREFUL! I carve wood all my life and know enough (after many cuts to hands and fingers) to handle safely, but anyone else, please watch where the knife tips go, razorsharp tips. I look forward to more products from this company.

I disliked that I had to sharpen the blade. I used it for carving wood

I bought this for my 8-year old son for Christmas. It is perfect for him! I also got him a whittling book to go along with it and that has helped him get some ideas. The knives in this kit come in a great carrying case and are not unreasonably sharp for a beginner. He has spent hours playing around with them and is getting pretty good. I would highly recommend this for a beginner or someone who is not a professional;).

Saw these at a good price and got sucked it/ Handles very uncomfortable, blades have no sharpness, no able to get them sharp. Very poor quality steel for blades. Spent a bit more money and bought some nice carving knives.

The knife pouch is of very high quality. Even the cardboard box was very sturdy. It is too bad the company did not put the same effort into the knives. Two out of three knives had loose blades. I fixed that by re-riveting the blades and adding some epoxy. The blades do come relatively sharp but dull quickly. I hardened and resharpened the blades and now they are a quality product. You might wonder why I went to all that trouble and not just return the knives. Well, I enjoy sharpening my own tools and these were a little bit of a challenge.

As a wood carving hobbiest I found these knives very useful. I have to sharpen them pretty often but I carve mostly hard wood with them so that is to be expected. Overall they are far better than expected for their price and I am very happy with them. -edit- It has been over two years since I bought these knives and I am still using them for my hobby. While I don’t think they would be the first choice of a hard core wood carver they have more than exceeded my needs as a hobbiest carver. All three blades show wear and tear from my abuse but I still find myself picking them first when I need a blade. They are thin but strong, good reach from the handle but still short enough to not flex when twisted. I like them. Perhaps some day I will carve new handles for them simply for the bragging rights, but I would probably buy a second set to do the work with.

These look very nice. The one problem I had was the handles on 2 of them were loose. Can be fixed, but shouldn't have to be when new. The second problem was that none of them were sharp. It took a good hour to get them sharp. Again shouldn't have to be done when new. Finally, the knives won't hold an edge very long. I want to like these knives, but the manufacturers should put just a little more effort into them.

Did not like small knife.
