Review on 🔪 Flexcut Roughing Knife, High Carbon Steel Blade, Ash Handle, 1-3/4 inch Blade Bevel Length, (KN14): The Ultimate Roughing Knife for Precision Carving by Kelly Caballes

This is a great (sharp) carving knife for the money. I make shaped rings out of bamboo and wood and use this knife to cut the sawn blanks for the rings. I like the longer and slightly thicker blade because it helps me remove material quickly (without too much kinking) and gives me plenty of access to the work piece. I often carve laminated bamboo (which is killer for any cutting tool blade) but the blade seems to hold a sharp edge well and stains easily on a leather sling. The knife is light and the grip is comfortable. I do think the handle could have been polished a bit more at the factory but that's my opinion and it's no big deal but worth mentioning anyway so you know what to expect. However, for the price, this is a great carving knife, and it's great for removing a lot of material. If you are looking for a general purpose carving knife I would look for something smaller. Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the Flexcut products.
