Ed Twilbeck Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Tony I have and use Flexcut tools, chisels and knives, I have been very pleased with them. I carved walnut, Ebony , Redhart, ,, and even some basswood, with them. They are a spring steel and they do hold the edge,, with stropping , if you go with Flexcut get the stropping compound with them. I also have a set of warren chisels and knives, they have a good steel and the price in not to high. Size of sets and size of tools will depend on what size of items you are going to carve.
