From Japan! 4 1/2 stars really. I was very impressed when I opened these. They appear to be pretty good quality and arrived sharp enough to use. Don't even really need to be stropped right off. I was a bit skeptical when I first ordered them due to the low price. The handles are nicely shaped of some sort of good for handles hardwood and finished nicely. They have small flats on the sides to keep from rolling off the bench. The steels appear to be some sort of quite hard tool steel. The only drawback I see is these do not have metal ferrels and the tangs are only an inch or so long going in somewhat spindly handles. Not a lot of meat there for strength. Without much difficulty, I pulled out a couple of the larger blades by hand. I mixed up a bit of epoxy and reset these figuring that at least it will keep them in over time and strengthen the tool a bit. These are not tools I would use a mallet with, but perfect for hand work. I love the feel of them in my hand -- a good fit. I'll re-edit this review in a few months if I find these don't hold up.Edit: I've been using these the last several days on a walnut piece and am finding them very nice indeed. They really hold an edge well even on this tough hard wood. The handles are holding up well so far. I am very happy.

I had wanted to try the palm version of these tools, but ended up getting this brand instead. When held with the proper technique to avoid stiff joints and gouges, these do a great job and are a great starter set that will carry on as skills grow. Glad I got them

I do a lot of wood carving (caricature, ornaments, and stuff...). I use FlexCut, Morakniv, Ramelson, Robert Sorby, and other carving brands. I was quite surprised of the quality of the Power Grip brand. The blades are sturdy and sharp. They maintain an edge for a very long time. A leather strope and compound (green is usually good enough). I find that they also sharpen easily. The handles are very comfortable and they do not roll around like some brands. I believe that beginners should always start with quality, affordable knives. These knives are good for all levels of carvers.

These were some tools i had my eye on for a while, and once i grew competent with my beginner set of carving tools i bought these. i soon realized that i should have just started with these from the beginning instead of starting with a beginner set! the price is really reasonable and the quality is great, sharp right out of the box, but giving them a few passes on a strop made them even sharper. they are very comfortable in the palm and cut the linoleum like butter.

Wanted to upgrade from Speedball cutters, but didn't want to spend too much just yet. Figured I'd do a slight upgrade and see how I liked this style, as opposed to the palm tools. I'm glad that I got them and I think I'll have many uses for them. Overall, they feel fine and seem to cut well, even on the older, almost brittle battleship lino that I have been using. I like that they can be sharpened, which in my mind, makes them a step above the Speedball cutters that I have. I'd recommend them as a decent intermediate set. I carved/printed the image in the picture with these tools. I plan on getting a good palm set down the road, but these are great for now, and I'll always have a use for them.

The price was excellent, and enough to convince me to try these for small, delicate work, and I have been totally pleased. Enough so that I recommended them to a friend, and after looking at mine, my friend bought a set too. They are sharp, feel good in my hands, and cut very well. I couldn't be happier, and I have bought several other shapes and sizes in this brand.

I am a beginner at creating linoleum block prints, and I read about these on a blog, so I decided to give them a try. I really like them. Very sturdy. Very sharp. (Accidentally stabbed my finger with one of them. So much blood, but that was a super neat cut that healed very quickly.) I am totally sold on these as my tools and will not be seeking out any others.

People who use edged tools extensively look for some very important qualities in their purchases.#1 Is it well made?#2 Is it properly ground for your purpose?#3 Is it sharp enough to do the job?#4 Does it hold an edge well?This is a quality set of tools that meets or exceeds those criteria and when properly maintained, will give you excellent service and I find that this set is an even better bargain because of it's price. I do recommend that you buy the necessary tools to keep your tools in top shape both for safety purposes and because dull blades cause more fatigue and frustration. A Flexcut Slip strop is an inexpensive option for keeping these tools in top shape. Many wood carvers strop their tools before or after each carving session and some recommend touching up your tool after about every 20 minutes of use. Whichever you decide, just remember that maintaining a good sharp blade will give you a better carving experience. You can buy hand, finger and thumb protection now, or simply learn from experience (cut fingers) and buy them later. Youtube is your friend!

Poignées agréables!Lames très affûtées et bien travaillées pour un maximum de rendement!Suggestions:1- Fournir des lames courbes et droites de plus petites dimensions pour un travail plus petit,2- Fournir un petit marteau en caoutchouc ferme3- Fournir des gants en cotte de maille car malgré les précautions, il arrivera des pépins, au moins pour la protection au début pour les néophytes.Très bon travail!
