For money? Star!

I was surprised to read the negative reviews on this carving set. "No hardwood," says one guy. Yes, that's what the ad says. I figured if this thing is exactly what the ad says it's GOOD. People break them and then give the set a star. In fact, I found two reviews under two different call numbers a year apart that were identical letter for letter; worth four sentences. hardly a coincidence I think. What the hell? But seriously, these little pearls are worth twelve bucks. There are TWELVE…

Excellent price despite some limitations

The description accurately describes what you get, which is rare in cheaper sets. I bought this kit specifically for block printing and it's almost perfect for my purpose so it deserves 5 stars. I don't find the straight and angled chisels particularly useful, but this set has 4 chisels and 2 splitting tools. All cutting tools cut well out of the box, although honing improves the cut. I don't care if the pens look cheap. In any case, I plan to shorten them so that they fit better in my hand…

Pros
  • Wood Carving Knife
Cons
  • Out of Fashion

For the price you can't ask for much more!

A great set for beginners (and maybe even masters)! I bought these because they look a lot like used Japanese chisels I bought on ebay and they have turned out fantastic. They are made in Tawain and upon closer inspection do not reach the quality of Japanese chisels, but for practical purposes it doesn't matter, at least in the short term, because they cut very well, and even after some tinting they have sometimes very hard dense wood (maybe African ebony). still a clear edge. They may not last

Pros
  • Set of 12
Cons
  • High price
