Everyone carves at once!

I buy six pumpkins every year for my family to carve. Over the years, I had found one saw out of many cheap sets that worked well and didn't break. We have been sure to keep track of that one and passed it around every year. But, this set has a good tool for everyone. Two of our group got carried away with them, using them more like a knife than a saw, and they did break, but they are thin saws that are meant to be used carefully. If they were thicker, you wouldn't get the detail in the carving. I emailed the company to see if I could pay for replacements, and they sent me replacement saws for free. I plan to have a little usage review before our next carving party. It's great to have the set so that everyone can carve at the same time without waiting for "that one that works."

Not a nubee to whittling and carving- I have quite a selection of veiners, gouges and skews. I looked all over the web at 'opinions' on flexcuts products- those that love them, really love em. Those that don't like em, don't...but also don't share any reasons why they don't. (I can speculate that they also already have many expensive tools- and don't see any reason to duplcate tools they enjoy). I have and use my tools- but I also like to try the new.
I side with the first group- love em !
Really like the 'spring' the Flexcuts give. Many (Many) times- as I have worked with a standard gouge... they will dig right into an area you don't want to carve. The Flexcut's seem to be able to stop cutting a little quicker when you let off the 'flex' pressure.
The tools come SHARP !
The quality of the tools steel is suprisingly great. They come SHARP ( o- I said that already) and are easly stropped into sharp again with just the supplys given in this packages assortment.
It is a little funny to see the blades- they look like they are made from metal strapping- but, again- the tools steel quality is TOP Quality.
Nice assortment of Blade styles and sizes. Both handles are also good quality. These are REAL Quality Tools that anyone will have and enjoy for a very long time.
I find that I reach for these as often as my standard fixed handled carving tools... some times more so, for smaller more intricate cuts.
Bonus points for the DVD. (Though I fell asleep for the middle of it- I really was tired)...cuz he really does show you all of the detail involved in a relief carving. Promiss I will watch it again.

The whole family spent hundreds of hours playing with this Lego set. 1600 pieces give you so many choices for your ideas, no matter how crazy they are!

With this kit, the only thing my Carvex can not do is cook for me. I can not imagine anything else I can add to the saw. I am very pleased with this kit.

I got this on Saturday...had a craft party on Sunday and we loved using it to make big bows for the ornaments! I watched only 2 videos and got the hang of the 2 loop bows right away.  I'll post pics when I take some. Can't wait to learn more!

This is by far my favorite new item for the kitchen.  We made 6 pans of apple slices and 1 apple pie and it took half the time compared to previous years - 5 hours.  We started at 1:30 and were done at 6:30, including baking time.  In past years we would start around 9:00 in the morning and we used an apple peeler/corer that attached to the table with a clip and it was hand cranked.  We would spend a couple of hours trying to make it work until we just gave up and hand peeled and cut all of the apples (1/2 bushel).  This year was the first time the apples were done before rolling out the dough!  I can't wait to try it to peel my potatoes for Thanksgiving!!  Well worth the money!

Fast service, great quality, a fairly comprehensive carving set. Will be a good starter set for anyone, or an addition to a set already started.

Loving this new craft!!!  So happy this kit was available.  I am brand new to the craft, and I am having to watch some of the videos for things like Peyote stitch.  Wish the instructions were a bit clearer, but like I said it is all brand new to me.  Love this kind of work with my hands.

I had been wanting to get into carving for a while and I figured the best chance of success was to start with quality tools. I received this as a gift and after using them for just a short amount of time I am extremely pleased. They arrived sharp....really sharp. The steel appears to be quality with very nicely honed edges. The included instruction manual and carving block are better than I anticipated offer a nice primer to the craft.
Using the various tools could not be easier. They cut like a dream and if you've ever used sharp chisels to cut wood then you know that satisfying sound they make as they cut through wood fibers. There is something soulful about it. Swapping the different tools in and out of the handle is a bit bothersome though and I can see making some dedicated handles. The only negative I can find is the tool roll. I guess I figured it to be leather but is instead a synthetic, almost plastic, material and when rolling up the tools it is possible that they can ding against each other. I still feel that this doesn't detract from the kit in any way.

I absolutely love A Cut Above Cutlery, they make such high quality knives, and this Carving Set is no exception. It has a very nice handle that is sturdy and fits your hand perfectly. I can't wait to try it out this Thanksgiving on our turkey, because all the meat we have used these on so far, they cut through it like butter. You can't go wrong with this Carving Knife Set. Great quality product.

How creative I found in this kit being able to build many, many different models with one purchase!  Getting these as a gifts was an even added plus because I have many Lego pieces that this kit is compatible with!  The pieces from the Legos fit together in a very complimentary addition to the models I have constructed!  Hours passed once I put the models together as the instructions explained, and I left the feature model lit up in my room for the night!  SO MUCH FUN!!!

This knife and block set is definitely worth the price. The handles are sturdy and the blades came really sharp which is a surprise. There was no damage to the block and the knives do wiggle a bit when in the block but it is a very minor issue considering the price. The set comes with 11 knives, 1 scissor, and the wooden block set for storage. I would recommend this set to friends and family even if they are not on a budget!
