Is $69.95 a good price for this set?

It is the best new price among the two stores listing it as of November 5, 2026. That works out to about $14 per tool for hand-forged, US-made gouges.

Can I buy a single tool to replace one?

No. Garrett Wade sells this only as a five-piece set, and one reviewer who chipped the 1.5 mm V-gouge wished singles were available.

What is included in the set?

A 2 mm straight gouge, 1.5 mm and 3 mm V-gouges, and 1.5 mm and 3 mm U-gouges, each 5½ inches long with a 4-inch handle.

Are these big enough for general carving?

They are detail tools. The 1½-inch blades and small handles suit miniatures, linocuts and restoration touch-up, not heavy stock removal.

Will they ship to Canada?

No. This set is listed as not eligible to ship to Canada.

Do the blades come sharp?

Buyers report they arrive sharp and hold an edge well, though the thin 1.5 mm V-gouge needs a light touch.
