Has anybody used this for egg carving?

Yes this tool is fantastic for any carving u enjoy doing. My husband is a large man 6'5' very solid arms and hands but he is able to work the most fragile of materials. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

Haven't tried it on softboiled eggs but I'm sure it would be fine - just don't add as much water. Only thing I can say bad about it is the fact you have to poke a hole in the egg with the tool they provide, to keep it from exploding and sometimes I break the egg

I used it to chisel/hollow out a log birdhouse (see photos if links work)http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c59/BipolarBowler/IMG_0544_zpsb9da6d65.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c59/BipolarBowler/IMG_0543_zps5c82be31.jpg

I use it to make anything from jewelry pendants to paperweights to switch covers. Actually the bigger the project, the quicker it actually sets. What are you planning on making? If you don't mind me asking :)

When I purchased this starter set I also purchased a spoon type of knife for doing concave types of carving such as the inside of a mask. I don't believe you could do it with only this basic set of knives but I am a beginner and may be wrong.

Absolutely! I find it particularly useful in concave shaping. It certainly can be used in a convex scenario such as in long flowing curves of an abstract form but I think it is more at home digging in. Happy sculpting!!

I don't do woodcarving. I have used it on very rare occasions to clean fish. My guess if you're going to use it while manipulating very small pieces of wood it probably wouldn't work for you. But if you're carving wooden lures it might be worth a look.

Dan P has it right. I use it on any size chicken egg.You put your egg in an egg cup with the large end down and the small end up. Make sure you put just enough downward pressure on it when you cut so that the little teeth take hold. The cut will be clean and no egg shell pieces will remain. It is a great invention. I used to hack my eggs open with a table knife which was messier. This thing leaves 2 perfect pieces--the small top and the larger bottom that you can eat out of with a tiny egg spoon or scrape the contents on out on to a slice of toast by using a regular sized teaspoon.

I only buy extra large eggs and it works great. I also use it for mushrooms, and olives. Very sturdy and worth the price.

My husband uses to engrave his name on tools. It has a pretty heavy vibration it might crack the shells. I suppose if you used a hard boiled egg it might. Hope this helps, good luck!

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.

Probably not. It's pretty thick - it has 3 blades side by side - so precision is not really possible with this thing. If it were me, I would just buy one of those little pumpkin carving kits - but not the cheapest one I could find, some have better quality than others.

It is used to make angled floral designs on an egg while cutting it in half. It's pictured on the back of the box.

I haven't. I haven't been using it very heavily, but this is a very big knife. I don't see it being a problem unless you throw it at something or stab something harder than wood

I haven't tried it on eggplant, but I think it would wirk well. I find that it cuts well, and eggplants need a sharp cutter, in my experience.

It's more like chopping than grinding. Some stuff slips through the blades, some is cut into 1/4" pieces, and some is just mangled, but it does the job. I have not used it on eggshells. BTW, the mechanical parts are sturdy, but the plastic is not. The hinge on the lid broke almost immediately, and the handle to lift the grinding unit out of the housing broke in about 2 months. It's still useable, though.
