Your endorsements are always influential. I will probably purchase one because of this video. Thanks. I look forward to seeing additional carving videos using this tool.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you very much! You will enjoy it!

[@andytarap8136]

If you buy the left handed version you will be able to push the v scorp and gouge as a right hander.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Such a fun idea!

[@kosgov]

I would guess that the Scorp tool is it that right angle cuz they don't want you pushing Straigh on that blade in case it breaks the lock mechanism and folds the knife shut. That would be my guess. By the way, I love your videos I like. They're very inspiring!

[@MasterYoist]

I have the original carving jack and the wuality is not very impressive. The company loho, apparently glued on, fell off during the first use. I still kept it. But it's not an optimal carving tool because of the poor quality and it doesn't hold an edge well at all. Just my opinion.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I’ve had the 2.0 for a couple of weeks and so far I have been impressed with the quality!

[@georgepeet6233]

The V tool is only good for right handed carvers

[@RonLynch-hx6nq]

Wow .anywhere from 71 dollars all the way to 189 dollar s .schrade make s something similar for 37 dollar s . I wouldn't pay more than a schrade.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

@@RonLynch-hx6nq if you end up buying the Schrade, let me know how it is!

[@Maxamos]

I bring my carving jack to the beach and campsite, it really is my favorite tool I ever purchased

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I'm really liking mine so far!

[@williamlott7612]

I took the Old Timer version to Cuba on a mission trip and gave it to a Cuban pastor who is a woodworker. I tried it and it wasn’t near as sharp as your Flexcut.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good to know thanks!

[@j.l_vqtqv9908]

Tiene buena pinta...😎

[@stephenkendall6108]

My is a constant companion while hunting. Keeps me quiet and still and busy

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Good idea!!

[@jmac4779]

I won't be buying one just for the reason that it has scorp(sp?) gouges. I have never used a gouge such as this and never want to. Blah!

[@williamfawkes8379]

I have a suggestion for this tool. And in reality, they should pay me for it, because it's a good one. Just remove the straight tools, and replace them with a sturdy socket to accept any tool. Then, bring your favorites in a little roll and swap them in as needed. When I first started getting flexcut tools, I always got the ones without handles. I've branched out a bit from that plan as time goes by.

[@maxjr758]

Don't waste your time on the Old Timer version ! I bought one at Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Sevierville, TN for $19.95 and let me tell you, ya get what you pay for with this Old Timer. It took several Hours just to get a couple of the blades sharpened ! There is absolutely no blade lock ! If you chance this one, be careful, might want to wear a carving glove trying this one out ! Thanks for awesome videos !

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thank you!!

[@brianwilkinson9740]

I had an older version of this and got rid of it because I found it quite uncomfortable in my hand. Too many sharp edges and ridges that wore on my hand. Hopefully this new version is more comfortable. That being said, it was well made and quite compact. I just preferred bringing a small kit.

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I see! This one is surprisingly ergonomic!

[@halflingcarvings]

Great video! Love my carving jack

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

Thanks!

[@RoysTimberArtTechniques-mv6gt]

Alec what is your opinion of beavercraft knives please

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I think they are pretty decent for the money!

[@ricksmith3125]

I have one cool stuff 😎

[@nusberg9300]

Как его купить в России?

[@philliesblunt247]

This is awesome

[@moondog5553]

I own flex cut tools and I’ve been thinking about grabbing this thing for the past 15 years. I figured it be fun to take out hiking.

[@RoysTimberArtTechniques-mv6gt]

Get it you only live once ❤

[@thechosenone2984]

Most of my knives are flexcut ..they are very good

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I like them too!

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

Hi Alec. I am just starting to carve by watching videos-i have only done a couple and have a ton of respect for this art even more so now! I started and have only done about 5-6. I started to take my mind of of things! It helps pass some time and wish i had more of that right now but unfortunately i do not! Hope this makes sense. I have a Carving Jack and a couple of other knives! I was thinking of adding this one to my collection and someone mentioned getting a left handed one- made some cuts easier? What is your thoughts on that? Congratulations on the book also! Thank you and have a good day!

[@AlecLaCasseArt]

I really like the idea of buying the left handed version because then you can push the v-tool and score away from you!

[@rayjrdibenedetto867]

@@AlecLaCasseArt Good morning. Thank you for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. Have a good day
