Beautiful craftsmanship and super sharp.
Made my own handle and blade protector.

I ordered a number of blades and they all came sharpe and ready to go. The finish was excellent and I enjoyed making handles for them. My first knife, ended up needing redoing because the round steel was ground down/bent on one side so when installed it was not in line but pointed upward. I adjusted the angle of the drill on the second handle and was able to get the blade in line with the handle. I checked the other blades and found one more with the same problem, so I adjusted the angle of the drill as needed. They are sharp from the beginning and hold a good edge. I would recommend these blades to anyone who wants to do some wood carving, just check to see if the blade shank is straight, if not adjust angle of drilling!

Without a doubt
“Top craftsmanship “

I am a long time carver and have always been a big fan of Pfeil/Swissmade. I also had a Morakniv that I used for roughing out and thought all of the above were sufficient. But I was dead wrong. When I received the knife from Paul, I used it that evening and what a huge difference it made. No only is teh handle ergonomics far superior to the rest, I also like the way is beveled instead of that bevel 'bump" especially on the Morakivs. Besides all of that, it held an edge for a really long time and came back to razor sharp just using a strop. I personally will no use no other knife brand as this is my 3rd DV knife and each one is better than the last.

I ordered two slim scalpel knives and they are both fantastic. The blade and handle finish is the best I’ve personally had and both the straight and upsweep blades are sharp. Handle shape is not uncomfortable but different and the more I use it the better I like it. Will definitely recommend them and order again once I get the time slot nailed. Great job!!!

I am new to wood carving . Your knives were recommended in a review I read of the best carving knives for 2025. I purchased the 1 inch scalpel fine detail knife. Although the handle takes some getting used to it is my go to knife for fine detail such as eyes and facial features. Holds an edge very well .So far pleased with my purchase.

Excellent workmanship. Fits and protects knives perfectly at good price.

1 1/4 inch detail roughout knife. Very nice, sharp and ready to carve. Handle is comfortable and blade is tight in handle. Would order again in a blink!

Sharp blade that fits great in hand. Would highly recommend to other carvers.

I NOW HAVE 8 DEEP WOODS VENTURES KNIVES AND AM HAPPY WITH ALL. THEY ARE USED DAILY AND ARE THE ENVY OF MANY OF THE OTHER CARVERS IN THE GROUPS I CARVE WITH. I RECOMEND THEM AT EVERY OPERTUNITY PROUDLY. THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND QUALITY.

I’m happy to write that buying a knife from DeepwoodsVentures was easily the best online purchasing experience I’ve ever had. Bladesmith Jones’ products are high quality at a fair price and he was attentive to all of my questions. What more could anyone ask for?

The knive is extra sharp. It is great for for removing a lot wood in a minimal amount of time. Stropping the.knive is easy..

Both the skinny sloyd and spoon hook are amazing. They feel great in my hand and have excellent edge retention. I can carve for a good amount of time before a simple stropping is needed. The smooth cutting makes carving a pleasurable experience even on hardwood that has been aged. I am so happy your spoon hook was recommended by Badger State Blades!

This is one of several knifes that i own from this custom knife maker.
They are all high quality and made available at a very reasonable price and quickly available after ordering

I made a mistake and bent the tip of the blade. Paul was wonderful to work with and fixed the problem no questions asked. Best support possible!
