    I've been using my knives for 4 years and I like them, I couldn't possibly care less what brands that you endorse, the fact that you are pushing these brands
    Means that I will never buy them.

    Best thing about flexcut is they're AVAILABLE, with a little stone/sandpaper work they can be transformed to a flat grind. Those other manufacturers not so easy to find... in Canada anyway.

      Chipping away offers most of the whittling brands, and Lee Valley carries most of the gouge companies. Both are in Canada. I had trouble finding a Canadian company for a while as well. Happy carving.

    Great video thank you! I actually ordered all the gouges from shaff because they seem to have decent ratings and an affordable price. Probably way too many gouges than I will ever use but at least I have them all and can pick and choose over time. It seems to me they definitely all need to be sharpened! Even the ones that were Factory sharpened for an extra fee! Now I have to sharpen all of them anyway it'll be good practice LOL

Probably close to 90 years old and still sharp enough to shave the hair off a gnats arse...Flexcut, definitely worth the money! Ready to carve right out of the package!

    Literally just watched your older video on knife recommendations yesterday!
    I ordered an original OCCT knife as a treat to myself since I’ve been using the same Flexcut detail knife for a few years now. I LOVE my Flexcut, but Im looking forward to a fully flat grind for easier stropping, and a rounded spine to save my thumb. The blade should be a bit better too from what I’ve heard.
    Been loving these kind of videos lately!

    Mit Motorbremse und
    Totmannschalter ( Paddle -Schalter)
    Ich habe auf diese Modelle umgestellt (ich hab mindestens 7 Stück davon ) und kann sie dringend empfehlen .
    Das Arbeiten damit ist viel sicherer !!!

    Hi there, I am a beginner as regards whittling and I watch mostly your videos and those of another well known person on RUclips. I have Flexcut knives, a Mora whittling knife, some that I made myself, and some of the Two Cherries brand. I was interested to see what you use to sharpen your knives so I clicked on the link in the video description, which took me to the Work Sharp site. One of the sharpeners there is the Ken Onion edition, which I have and use expensively for all my knives other than whittling knives. I tried it on a whittling knife once and found that the fact that it puts a very slight concave edge on the knife, makes the edge less suitable for whittling. The edge doesn't bite into the wood at flat angles, you have to use a steeper angle. I went back to manually sharpening my whittling knives. I would like to know which of the Work Sharp tools you use for sharpening and if you experienced the same issue with the Ken Onion edition, if you do use it.

    • @AlecLaCasseArt
      @AlecLaCasseArt  4 месяца назад

      Yes, I know what you mean! It helps to use the plastic backer on the ken onion’s belt to prevent the rounded bevel !

    Was Messer angeht: Beavercraft und Flexcut sind hier erhältlich. Die anderen Marken hab ich hier noch nie gehört oder gesehen: bitte die genauen Namen noch in die Videobeschreibung geben!
    Und eine Frage an die europäischen Zuschauer: Welche anderen Hersteller benutzt ihr? Ich habe selbst noch Mora und Dictum ( noch nicht getestet), Was empfehlt ihr?
    Die Gouges sind ja hier in Deutschland gut zu kriegen. Zumi dest PFEIL ,STUBAI und KIRSCHEN.
    Hat jemand ne Idee wer in Deutschland HENRY TAILOR vertreibt?
