FLEXCUTSloyd Knife KN50 | 1095 High Carbon Steel Blade | Full Tang Construction | 7 1/2 inch Overall Length, 2 7/8 inch Blade | Cherry Hardwood Handle | Includes Leather Sheath | Made in USA

As a beginner, I’ve been trying to learn carving/whittling via trial by fire, toughing it out and trial n’ error, the old fashioned way. I’ve made great prog, but found myself having sore hands before even approaching detail work on pieces as small as a gnome or a spoon.I decided to grab a Sloyd for roughing, and it has already changed the game. The amount of wood I can remove with minimal effort is a thing of beauty. This Flexcut specifically came ungodly sharp out of the box, fit in it’s sheath perfectly, and has thus far served me well.I appreciate the thickness of the steel for being stout, but not overly so. It’s sturdy enough that I don’t fear putting some muscle into a cut, and it’s thin enough that I (size 3xl hands) can easily pushcut detail aswell.Just an all around fantastic purchase, and was worth every penny.

This knife will help me complete a special carving project in shorter time. It's the sharpest tool I own. Really pleased to have it.

The knife is amazing out of the package! The one star deduction is because the product photos are inaccurate. The included sheath was a standard belt dangler and not the utility metal clip model (KN06).The handle finish feels great in hand, and doesn't need any modifications before use. The blade is scary sharp with no burr at all and a near mirror finish.

Good qualityGreat for carving

Thought i would purchase on amazon for a discount from the website but it arrived broken and amazon refused to return or replace. Its too bad its the right size and looked to be sharp before being split at the edge

Love sloyd knives and love the flexcut Brand

It's very sharp, and the blade geometry is good. The handle is comfortable. This ends the positive portion of the review. The blade is quite crooked on mine, enough to notice it going off course when carving. The first time I put the knife into the sheath, it punctured the end and stabbed me in the palm. The knife that I got cannot be used with the sheath it came with. It simply stabs through the end of it every time it's inserted. I don't know if this is a common issue, or just a problem with the one I got, but this is unacceptably poor. I'll send the knife back and get another, and maybe update the review after. So far, I'm mostly unimpressed. To be fair, I'd tried some other flexcut products in the past, including their rather poor draw knife, and got this same impression. So, maybe it's a case of "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."[Edit] I sent it back, and got another shipped to me. The problems in the first knife were not present. The blade is straight, and it can be used with the sheath without cutting through it. I still have concerns about the sheath construction, which feels like given any crease or bend, it'll put the knife at an angle to poke through the side of the sheath again. I feel like it's not really an adequate sheath, and I've deducted a star for that. The knife itself seems very good, this time around. It's much better than my previous experiences with Flexcut products. Just be careful with the sheath. It's not entirely safe.
