BeaverCraft Whittling Knife C2 6.5" Whittling Knife for Fine Chip Carving Wood and General Purpose Wood Carving Knife Bench Detail Carving Knife Carbon Steel and Whittling for Beginners

I use this knife for everything. So I've bought 2 or 3 because they are so handy to have.

Well made and sharp needed only a light strapping on a piece of of leather. Easy to hold comfortably makes carving less work. Steel in blades of good quality.

I have a couple reasons for my poor review, first off, when I recieved the knife the blade had a lot of patchy discoloration, I decided that this wouldn’t be a problem if the knife works well, and it did at first, when I started using this knife it worked pretty well but I did feel like it was too big for detail work ,but what I noticed is it got dull right away, when I tried to sharpen it, then it would be sharp and then get dull and start to get nicks in the blade super fast. This knife is not comfortable to use because I have to push very hard to actually make cuts, and like I said before, it is too big and dull for detail work, I was very exited for this knife and thought it would allow me to carve for long amounts of time. I should also add that the wood I was using was basswood which is fairly soft and should be easy to whittle and should not cause a knife to get dull. Due to these problems I have only used the knife shortly a few times. I am overall disappointed with the product. I have added a photo that shows the discoloration and odd lines on my knife when I recieved it.UPDATE: After this review I contacted the BeaverCraft team and they replied right away and were great about sending me a replacement. After I recieved the replacement i tried it right away, and it was a much better knife than the first one, so obviously I had recieved a defected knife. The new knife is great and is sharp and easy to carve with. Customer support is also great. I am happy with the new knife and would recommend this product.

It's a great little knife that does a great job at vhipping away at some tighter areas. It comes SUPER sharp, but I do wish they had a little sheath that came with it to protect the edge.

This is a great little beginner whittling knife. Ready to go right out of the box, the blade is razor sharp, and well attached in the handle.

My other son is now getting into carving so we bought the same one again. Good quality, we do re-sharpener our own knives

The only problem I had is the fact that I live in a really humid place so it got a bit rusty, just keep it in a dry place and you'll have no problem.

I gave this item two stars because for the price this is not the worst item available, but I will not recommend it to anyone. My hand knife hand was very sore after each use, projects took 2x-3x longer to complete, and I feel like I spent half my time stropping with no real improvement.
