BeaverCraft S15X Deluxe Wood Carving Set vs Morakniv Woodcarving Kit Dala Horse

The BeaverCraft S15X is the better choice for anyone who wants to keep carving after the first project. It gives you three knives, a strop, polishing compound and a leather case, so you can sharpen and store the tools. The Morakniv Starter Kit is a single knife plus a pine blank for carving a Dala horse, which suits a gift or a first project but leaves you with one tool. Owners of BeaverCraft sets praise the walnut handles and out-of-the-box sharpness; Morakniv owners praise the steel and the simple, sturdy build.

• Choose the BeaverCraft S15X if you want a full carving setup with three knives, a strop and a case, and you plan to sharpen and keep carving.
• Choose the Morakniv Starter Kit if you want one good knife and a ready project, or a gift for someone curious about carving.
