Wood Carving Knife With Leather Strop and Polishing Compound, Wood Whittling Tools for Beginners, Adults and Kids Whittling Tools (Sloyd Carving Knife)

EXCELLENT CARVING KNIFE. I AM WELL PLEASED WITH THIS ITEM. IT IS EASY TO HOLD AND ARRIVED INTENSELY SHARP. I AM A NOVICE CARVER AND STILL, THE KNIFE WAS PERFECT FOR MY LACK OF SKILL. I USED THE KNIFE TO STRIP THE BARK OFF OF MESQUITE BRANCHES WHICH I THEN USED FOR MAKING SUNCATCHERS, WINDCHIMES, HOLIDAY MOBILES AND THE LIKE. THIS IS A VERY GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY. I WILL BE PURCHASING FROM THIS MANUFACTURER AGAIN. THE KNIFE FIT MY HAND PERFECTLY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Takes a surprisingly good edge and holds it very well for such an inexpensive knife. The handle fits my hand too. I'm pleased with this purchase.

Pretty good overall product, especially for the price. Knife is super sharp and didn’t come with any sort of sheath besides the one for shipping. I cut part of the provided leather into a small blade cover and still have plenty of material to strop :)

People such as myself should not play with knives & wood. But, alas, I lack common sense.I have dabbled in the art of whittling off & on all my life. I have the scars to prove it. So, one day, I woke up & decided to get at it again. I ordered some little wooden squares, & this knife, with the intention of making rings for my husband & I. I’ve been quite happy with the work this knife can perform. It knicked off the edges of the squares & shaped them very quickly, & nicely! So far, Im very impressed with the sharpness & durability. I’m not even mad it tried to take the skin off my pinky. I’m kind of impressed with how easily & painlessly it happened (the pain came later…) This bad boy made me realize my family was correct in their naggings at me to buy cut proof gloves specifically for my freakishly small hands.This was just a knife to get me started again, & to see if I like it. I’ll be buying the others soon.

im quite pleased with this purchase. i'm an absolute beginner at whittling, and i was willing to settle for a lower quality knife to save money in a hobby i didn't even know if i'd like, but this is a really nice knife. of course, as a beginner, i can't compare it to the nicer knives available, but im happy with it. it's quite sharp right out of the box, and i've been stropping it maybe every 15-40 minutes of use or so and it's kept a great edge. fits quite comfortable in the hand, and easy to use. i like the shape of the handle and the blade is pretty versatile, which is good for a beginner on a budget. ive managed to easily strip bark, make big cuts, and do tiny detail work with it. ive also managed to slip and cut myself, but that's just a bit of user error. maybe add a pair of cut proof gloves to your cart before you check out on this one 👌🏼in the images with this review you can see the small details i've managed with this knife, including managing to carve out the eye of some yarn needles with the point of it!

I love it. It carves wood very well. Sharp and steady. It works best for the type of wood. I find it cuts through wood like butter.

Quality

I recently received my knife and found it very sharp, comfortable to the hand and ready to use right out of the box. BUT after using it for a short time I could feel the blade move in the handle.when attempting to strop the blade it slid right out of the handle. I still think this is a nice knife made of quality materials but mine somehow made it past quality control somehow. I have not found a way to contact Olerqzer customer service yet but will update if I am able to reach them
