Is this set good for a beginner?

Yes. It pairs a roughing knife, a cutting knife and a detail knife, which covers the basic cuts a new carver makes. Flexcut lists beginners as the target skill level.

What is the difference between the three knives?

The roughing knife removes wood quickly, the cutting knife handles general shaping, and the detail knife is for fine work. All three have 2-inch high carbon steel blades.

They can. High carbon steel is not stainless, so wipe the blades dry after use and apply a light oil to prevent rust.

How do I keep the knives sharp?

Strop the blades regularly on leather with polishing compound. A honing stone is only needed if an edge gets nicked.

The set contains the three carving knives. Check the listing for whether a slip strop or pouch is included.
