Cheap Lee Valley Flexcut Carving Sets

Flexcut has long been known for high-quality carving tools. The blades, made from high-carbon spring steel hardened to Rc55-58, take and hold an edge exceptionally well, and are supplied fully honed and ready for use. Both of these sets include an assortment of interchangeable blades that friction-fit into quick-change palm-style handles that have been ergonomically designed for comfort in extended use. Made in USA.

The 11-piece set comes with 10 blades and a 3 1/4″ ABS palm handle with a textured soft urethane grip. A suede-texture vinyl tool roll and a 5 1/2″ × 3 1/2″ carving blank printed with a relief-carving pattern of a leaf design are also included, along with a manual that gives step-by-step project instructions and general carving and sharpening advice.

The 21-piece set, supplied in a fitted wooden box, consists of 16 blades, a 3 1/4″ ABS palm handle, a 4 1/2″ palm handle made of ash, and a cutting knife (6″ overall with an ergonomic ash handle and fixed 1 3/16″ blade, hardened to Rc52-54). It also comes with a wooden strop (with multiple profiles to match the included blades) and honing compound, as well as a 90-minute instructional DVD (English only) demonstrating a wide range of carving and sharpening techniques. It even includes a refillable plastic dispenser containing four adhesive bandages, just in case!
