I got this kit after buying the bird carving kit. I like the knives that came with this one. Especially the shorter one with the curved top. It seems to handle the wood better for me while the longer, pointy one worked well for more detail type work. Comes with multiple size blocks which is nice. I did not get a guide for any specific project but I found a Google Drive link on Beavercraft's website with various templates. The 1x1 blocks are a little small for me to do anything with. It becomes easy to snap when taking down to a smaller size as it gets thin.

I am a beginner whittler. I got this kit because several sources said Beavercraft kits are good, and so they are. However, the blocks of wood were smaller than I expected, but I suspect I did not read the details close enough. But I carved a little bear from it in a day, and it was considerably easy. The wood was soft enough, and the tools are very sharp. As a beginner, I'd say this is a good kit to buy. Make sure to wear protection on your hands!

My eldest sons Birthday is shortly after Christmas. And we wanted to give him something unique. He has recently started getting into Bush crafting and he saw a video where they were carving spoons and cups. I knew he was impressed by the video. He had no idea we had purchased this carving set. But when he opened it he was ecstatic! This kit is very nice and appears to be well made.

All in all the three kits I bought are decent for the price, but c'mon Beavercraft...really!? I expected the knives to be much sharper. None of the knives that came with the kit were usable straight from the box. They needed a bit of stone work and it's a good thing I already have a bigger strop.

I was expecting this to be a real challenge but I just watched some great YouTube videos on it and had a lot of fun creating things with it. It did surprise me by not coming with the gloves and sharpening board but the price was great so that helped. The supplied wood is easy to work with and I started by making a tiny pumpkin which turned out nicely for Halloween season.

it isnt one of those fancy knifes but it gets the job done and it cuts through the wood like butter but still please be careful with it do not force the knife through the wood when it gets blunt

Already made the first one (see photo). This is my first project and did not want to spend a lot just to try whether I like it. But I am hooked. The wood quality is very nice and soft for beginners and the wood is cut well with no knots or randomly shaped grains. They gave 4 small and 1 big block of wood. Plus the knives are pretty sharp. Pro tips: 1. I didn't go for the DIY kits, instead used a couple of training videos on YouTube and I was set. 2. I bought a pair of No Cry gloves along with this to ensure my hands are protected. Though the box contains a bunch of band-aids - so considerate of them. 3. I live in a condo and don't like the wood chips to make a mess around the house, so I set-up a chair next to the wash basin or the kitchen sink and I happily whittle away!!! Awesome, engaging and cheap hobby to have!

Excellent wood carving knives, very suitable for beginners.

Die Messer sind klasse. Schön scharf und handlich. Gute Beschreibung auf Englisch dabei und man kommt über einen QR Code im Heftchen zu sehr schönen Videos, die verdeutlichen, wie man vorgehen sollte. Macht total Spaß, damit zu schnitzen. Habe mir noch Handschuhe dazu bestellt, die verhindern sollen, dass man sich schneidet.

This is a great kit to get started with woodcarving/whittling. Both the knives were razor sharp right out of the box and you can start with whittling right away. The wood blocks provided are of good quality. I would recommend getting a leather strop with polishing compound to maintain the edge of the blade, and a pair of good cut resistant gloves for safety. You can get them separately or look at other kits available from beavercraft. Overall, this is a great kit for beginners.
