FLEXCUTCarving Tools 3-Inch Draw Knife KN25 | Ergonomic Ash Handle | Straight 1095 High Carbon Steel Blade | Includes Leather Sheath | Made in The U.S.A.

Sheath is a good idea. Blade is very sharp

Works great and very sharp

This is just what I was looking for. I wanted a single bevel draw knife that holds it's edge. I bought the other one that Amazon sells, it was a double bevel knife. It was larges by a couple of inches and better handles for large hands like mine, but the curved handles on this one work. I needed the single bevel more than the handle for scarfing the wood surface of small items. The sheath is a plus too.

As others have mentioned, the blade is a bit thin, so I won't be able to use it for heavy duty work, but then it's not a froe, after all. It also won't be too good for work on really hard woods like hickory. It's pretty well made and will be fine for anything softer than, say, oak.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM .I HAVE SEVERAL FLEX CUT TOOLS AND THEY ARE ALL GREAT.

I love it .I used it to scrape the bark off of some hickory and maple stick blanks it did get dull pretty quick.,it was easy to get shaving sharp with a file and strop!

I'm using it for fan birds at the moment, which requires a thin blade, and this has it; it was apparently designed with the advice of someone that carves fan birds. It would be okay for draw knifing small objects as well, but I haven't used it for that yet.

As a daily carver, I can say these are of good quality. Although with the volume I produce I tend to wear them out faster than the normal human. I do use my first still, and it's 12 years old.

Cuts like how it's supposed to. Sharp out of the box

Good

very use full for wood craft

The Kn25 cuts well right from the start, but I am quite disappointed by the finish on the wooden handles. Both were left very rough, with the grain lifted in some areas. I almost got blisters from 5 minutes of testing. This shows neglect, another 5 minutes of sanding would have been required before varnishing.I'll have to get rid of the varnish and spend at least 30 minutes to fix that finish, and wait overnight the varnish to dry. I have two other Flex cut knives and though their handles are not perfect, they are more than smooth enough for hours of daily work. I used to readily recommend these knives, but now I will hesitate if this is the new "quality".A note on construction: the tangs are narrow and just inserted and glued into the wooden handles. There is very little wood around the metal at insertion point, I fear splitting will happen. Considering the type of job this draw knife is made for, I would not call this a lifetime tool. Good enough for a casual hobbyist though. Which is why I will take the time to refinish those handles, and hope for the best.

Excellent bit of kit - well worth the money.
