BeaverCraft Carving Knife Review

In this video I unbox a new BeaverCraft carving knife, I do a little comparison of the handle to a Flexcut handle, and I share how well the knife cuts right out of the box.

It's a decent knive. For someone who wants to figure out if carving is what they seriously want to do. If you do, get a better knive. The blade is to thick. Flexcut is a nice step up. But also quite thick blades. Helvie knives, OCCT, Drake... That's were you want to go.

I agree that the BeaverCraft is on the thick side, but for me that is good, if not preferable, on what I consider a bench knife. It is the knife that I keep by my bench for quick jobs and it will be likely to see some abuse. The kinds of things one would cringe at watching someone do with a more dedicated carving/whittling knife. I also agree that Flexcut is a step up in terms of a dedicated carving knife. I have not had the opportunity to use any of the other brands you mention, although I have heard all good things. I have to say, for the price, the BeaverCraft is pretty solid, if I was going to do some serious carving, I could take the project fairly far with this knife, but I would also like to have a detail knife to take care of the delicate work. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I will have to put some of your preferred brands on my wish list. :-)

Where do you get. Your woods do you cut them yourself or buy it at a local market or online?

Occasionally I need something specific and I take a trip to the sawmill or the hardware store, but that is the exception, most of the wood I use is free in one way or another. I get wood from the trees on my and my friends properties when they need trimming. I also get wood off the side of the road when people put it out for others to take for firewood (something that happens often around here). I have a few friends that work in industries that deal in wood and/or trees, and they let me know if they find something cool. Whenever I hear a chainsaw I go see if it is cool wood they are cutting and many people will give me a chunk for free, if not all of it. Word got out that I am a woodworker and people are often offering me scraps, cutoffs, trimmings, and would be firewood. I am lucky to be sure, but I have a good supply of wood for almost nothing.

I apologize, but I am not quite sure what you are asking?
