The Beginning Carver Set – Level 2 gives a new woodcarver the essential tools to start carving and keep their knives sharp. It includes a roughout knife for shaping and removing wood, a detail knife for smaller controlled cuts, plus a strop and compound for maintaining the edges.
Both knives are hand forged from W1 tool steel and made individually in my shop. They ship sharp and ready to carve, and the included strop gives you what you need to keep them that way.
Includes: Roughout Knife • Detail Knife • Strop • Sharpening Compound

PLEASE remember you are ordering a hand made knife, not something stamped out by a machine. As with any handmade item there are differences in the exact construction, therefore the knife may vary slightly from the photos shown. The wood handle you see in the photo may not be the exact color and figure pattern you receive. Photo may not be actual size, please refer to given dimensions.
Our blades have a near mirror finish. This allows the blade to move through the wood smoothly. There may be tooling marks still on the blade which do not affect the performance of the knife.
Each knife is individually made and we make every effort to get your knife in the mail within 10 working days, this allows 4 days for shipping. So approximately 2 weeks, give or take a day or two. Please feel free to ask any questions before ordering: Send Us an Email
