BeaverCraft S13 Wood Carving Set vs BeaverCraft S15X Deluxe Wood Carving Set

Buy the S13 if you are starting out and want a spoon blank, strop, compound and a box to learn on. Buy the S15X if you already carve and want three detail knives in black walnut with a leather roll. Both are BeaverCraft carbon steel at a 20° bevel, so edge geometry and sharpening are the same; the S15X is the heavier, more premium kit and the S13 is the broader starter kit. Owners of the S13 praise the sharpness and the in-hand feel; the S15X is the set carvers step up to for finer work.

• Choose the S13 if you want a complete starter kit with a spoon blank, strop, compound and toolbox to learn carving on.
• Choose the S15X if you want three detail knives with black walnut handles and a leather roll for finer, more controlled cuts.
