Many have said that these are good for the price and I say these are great at any price. First let me say that I own over two hundred of some of the best woodcarving tools on the planet and have spent time with both new and restored antique tools. While these are not quite ready to work straight out of the box (in my opinion) and do require a little minor work with very limited shaping and sharpening (nearly all new tools do) you will be rewarded with some of the best tools I have ever experienced for traditional wood carving. Sharpening is a fundamental part of woodworking and if you aren't willing to learn the skill you should take up another hobby. After initial sharpening they would normally only require occasional light honing to maintain the edge. Do take the time to remove the lacquer anti-corrosion coating from the metal before use and oil them lightly to keep the tools cleaner during sharpening and use, just as you would with any new tools. The metal takes and holds an edge as well as any I have seen and I have used them with just hand pressure and with mallets in both soft and hard woods. The handles are nice and the tools are very similar to the Pfeil brand. The tool roll they come in is first rate and much better than nearly all I have seen. I have not had any major issues with my tools but others have written that the company was quick to honor their guarantee and I have found them to be very responsive to answering questions I have had about their future plans for expansion to their tool line. It is my understanding that they are working hard to expand their offerings but are deeply concerned with making sure that any new tools meet the quality standards of their existing set before offering them to the public. They do offer a 10% discount for first time customers who sign up on their web page and in doing so they will keep you posted of future offerings. While some carvers warn against buying sets instead of individual tools, this set is well rounded for general work and there are no tools in the set that are "special" use with limited application, which is what you find in many "discount" sets. I have found that each tool included is a traditional style profile with wide application at the bench. Each is a profile normally used by most traditional style carvers and was obviously carefully selected to meet the needs of craftsmen. Considering the cost of many of the other "high-end" brands, you can own this set for what you would spend for three tools from the competition (and no tool roll) and I would call that a HUGE bargain. I have been so impressed with my set that have bought others, both for myself and for friends and family, each set as good as the last. If you want good traditional full sized wood carving tools then these should supply most of your needs and then some. They are a pleasure to use. . Spend the money on the better known brand names if you want but I like the thought of just getting really fine tools and the savings are an added bonus.

A little expensive but a very good set

Turned up super quick and lovely tools.

El acero parece buena calidad (veremos dentro de un par de meses). El afilado no es perfecto, tendré que mejorarlo (algunas piezas tienen un filo irregular, aunque a otras les ha bastado pasarlas por un cuero para poder realizar un trabajo aceptable sobre madera de pino de palet) Los mangos no están mal aunque esperaba mejores sensaciones (quizás soy muy exigente). Una de las gubias no tiene bien alineado el eje del metal con el eje del mango. En general me gustan estas gubias, aunque tendré que probarlas bien tras afilarlas adecuadamente. La bolsa, aunque no es cuero, da muy buena sensación al tacto y parece robusta (solo me parece poco adecuada la cinta de cierre).

Très bon kit de départ d'une bonne qualité et facile a garder coupant avec une bonne ''wetstone'' Un kit complet. J'aime beaucoup
