I’m so happy, when you make whittling videos. Your large carvings are incredible, but I whittle and have no vision, so thanks 🙏.

Have only been power carving, but I am very interested in getting some hand tools as well. Technically, I have a small set of wood carving tools, but they are just craft store quality, and I've never sharpened them, so I need a strop. I guess they could do for practice, but I may have to start a new tool collection. Thanks for the video. Even when I'm power carving, your videos give me a sense of measurement, angle and depth, that really helps me out.

After seeing your review of blades a while back ( month ). Another person said that Badger State Blades were a fine knife. I got 3 blades for under $40.00. I have skills and did very good handles, probably better than 80 percent of the handles made today, As a wood worker I know about strength. Testing the blades after my handles 😀 mounting believe they are excellent and my method of building handles manufacturing the handles are strong and straightforward. I am very satisfied getting 3 blades for my knives about the same as one knife, and my handles are fitting my hands that what madder most. .If a knife isn't comfortable, it gathers dust Thanks, your teaching is helping me and many.

I haven't seen much in terms of Carver's talking about badger state blades. Please tell us how you like their blades and if you would recommend them to other Carver's. Possibly a small review for those interested in buying some of the straight blades and how the steel quality is for those interested in their other types of blades like the ones designed for chip carving.

It's a great blade so far! I've been using it a lot! Holds up well with the softer woods!
