Is the Flexcut Deluxe Palm/Knife Set worth it?

For carvers who want both knives and palm tools, yes. Nine hand-sharpened tools for $172.95 at eBay as of November 5, 2026 is fair for a US-made set. Beginners may prefer a smaller starter kit.

Are the blades sharp out of the box?

Yes. Flexcut ships the high-carbon steel blades honed and ready for use. A light strop keeps the edge between sharpenings.

What is included in the set?

Four carving knives and five palm tools, including a V-tool, skew, gouge and detail knives, in a wooden box.

Can I use a mallet with the palm tools?

No. Palm tools are pushed by hand. For mallet work, look at full-size Flexcut gouges instead.

How do I keep the blades from rusting?

Dry them after every session and apply a light coat of oil. High-carbon steel rusts if left damp.

When is the best time to buy it?

Watch the price around woodworking sales and the holidays. The current best new price is $172.95 at eBay as of November 5, 2026.
