Good knife for the money

Very thin, weak blades with bad edges. It would've been better if the edges were blank since you need to rework them anyways. The hook blade on mine doesn't open all the way which makes it useless. Only use for soft wood unless you want bent blades. I like that the blades don't lock, that would be a pointless feature which would just make it heavier.

I love it

It isnt sharp at all and takes an edge well but you will ahve to sharpen it as it barely cuts when ya get it. Althought i work on harder woods and need it razor sharp. This might cut a stick just fine to whittle a little around the house. But if you need to carve serious work then you will spend some time on the blades.

Tho this thing has it all and well built. I am impressed. I always ahve had old timers and this is like those. Its handle is well made and fits inside you hands. Easy carving. It beats over a hundred for the competitor and has all the same options. It is high carbon steel so its going to rust in your pocket. I would buy a side holster to go with it as that isnt included but for the price you can buy 4 of these to the compeditors one.

I have used all thew blades and some I prolly wont use at all. This isnt for great detailed work but you can do it with it. The main blade is pointed and thin and will reach into the eye areas on cuttings. The spoone gouge is great and curved at the best angle. The small scoup will let you dig holes.

I think if your a whittler you should get a few of these around to slap in the pocket or go bag just for a way to have some fun waiting in the woods.

I will be buying more of these as i dont know how long they will be available and I want to stock up for some future whittling. As the blades will rust eventually. Tho you can oil them and keep them with oil on the blades to help with the rusting. Its a great tool and you should buy one.

Excellent knife, works great
