The 3 Best Woodcarving Knives On The Market

[@WileyR420]

Ever use an OCC knife? They are in the same price range and IMHO are overall better quality than Flexcut, especially the small detail knife. The small OCC handle doesn’t get in the way like the Flexcut handle does. I do like the Flexcut roughout for debarking and getting the exterior surface “found” wood . No doubt that Flexcut knives are good bargain and decent quality for beginners, but there are other options.

Flexcut has a great product line that will not break the bank . Thanks for sharing.

[@spikewillow4552]

Thanks for sharing these have been on my tool wish list for a long time, as money is tight. So thanks for confirming my thoughts on theses as a great little knife for carving, I shall be buying them real soon.

[@stixandstonescarving]

Yeah , I pick them up and use them a lot. And if i break one they are cheap enough to replace pretty easily.

[@justcarverob9389]

Thanks Kevin 😆 I have the flex cut knives and occ love them both but seem to be getting into the power carving more and more an using my knives for more details an clean up work Just carve

Thank you for your review. Didn't know you needed so few knives to cut some of the works of art you produced.

[@stixandstonescarving]

You bet

[@MessickGreg]

Beavercraft has a real good knife and holds an edge very well

These three knives are in Flexcut's 3-knife starter set KN500 that comes with stropping compound on Amazon for $45.98. Happy Carving.

[@stixandstonescarving]

Yep, Also linked in the description at my site in my blog.

[@yobabybubba]

Thank you great video. I do have the 1st one you showed. Can you please recommend a good strop. I did make 1 about 15 years ago but I wouldn't mind purchasing a good one. Thank you.

[@stixandstonescarving]

This is the one I use nowadays if you'd like to try it. If not flexcut makes others cheaper.....amzn.to/2R6FGPc

[@yobabybubba]

@@stixandstonescarving thank you so much

[@stixandstonescarving]

No problem.

[@yobabybubba]

Hey one more quick question. Does the strop have 2 different textures on either side.? 1 course in 1 fine?

[@stixandstonescarving]

@@yobabybubba Yes, one smooth and one rough. And i think you get the polishing compound with it also.

[@henrysscrollsawworks6917]

Will these work on poplar and spruce and some hard woods

[@ivancho5854]

Yes

[@jamesstewart7389]

I’d be careful got a flex cut, was cutting poplars for blade chipped pretty bad.

[@2371Anita]

Have you ever tried a Helvie knive? Top notch! Not many carving knives can compete with helvie knives. Not even flexcut.

[@stixandstonescarving]

I have helvies, they are a good knife , but still not as cheap as flexcuts . I will review those down the road also. This video is about the best for the lowest price and with all the flexcut sets out there , they are still the best buy I think for beginners.

[@henrysscrollsawworks6917]

Will the helvie knives work on poplar ?? Because the helvie I was told only good for soft wood !!!!

[@tbrew8222]

Im not online enough to do the wait list thing for helvies or drake. Ive made quite a few of my own that suit my needs though.

[@paulmore4118]

I see these. Knives are too thick where the blade comes from the handle, if we’re to have one of these knives I would cut away much of the wood and also cross hatch the top front area so your thumb won’t slip off, I use the thumb pushing thumb method, 55 years of carving. I do like the handle tapering down giving more ability for heavy cutting. Thanks

If you break a Drake knife, he will fix it for free. Lifetime warranty.

[@stixandstonescarving]

Nice, I've never tried them. Thanks
