Review on πŸͺ΅ CNBTR Carbon Wood Carving for Professional Woodworkers by Mike Littlejohn

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The bevel is sharpened from the wrong side

Before buying I read reviews about poor quality but didn't really expect the bevel to be sharpened on the wrong side. I was expecting to regrind the corner, smooth and sharpen the surface, but not change the bevel to the other side. These hacks should be considered for educational purposes only, knowing you have nothing to lose. As mentioned in other reviews, the wrong angle, dull, deep scratches that need sharpening are all true. Do not buy them as a beginner unless your goal is to learn how to fully grind and form, hone and polish the tool. A little machining is one thing, but round pocket surfaces are a very difficult task. The frustration factor will be high to make them workable.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Communication with seller
