Our take on the Starter Wood Carving Knife Set, 3 pcs

The BeaverCraft S15 is a three-knife starter set for whittling and carving: a C16 roughing knife, a C6 chip carving knife and a C15 detail knife. Blades are 1066 high-carbon steel hardened to 57–59 HRC and honed to a 20° bevel for soft wood. The set adds a leather strop, polishing compound, a canvas tool roll and a beginner booklet. At $49.99 at BeaverCraft Tools as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across six stores.

About the Starter Wood Carving Knife Set, 3 pcs

Our tools are sharpened to a 20° bevel angle, making them ideal for carving soft wood. We do not recommend using them on hard wood , as the fine edge may dull more quickly with tougher materials.

Explore the possibilities with the S15 Starter Wood Carving Knives Set – your ultimate tools collection to begin (or perfect) your wood carving journey. This thoughtfully assembled set includes three essential carving knives, designed to cover every stage of your carving projects: a big roughing knife for shaping and whittling, a chip carving knife for patterns and designs, and a detail knife for delicate cuts and finishing touches.

Each blade is crafted from 1066 high-carbon steel, hardened to 57–59 HRC, ensuring long-lasting durability and sharpness. The knives feature ergonomic ash wood handles that feel comfortable in the hand while remaining lightweight and sturdy.

To keep your tools performing at their best, the set comes with a leather strop and polishing compound, making it easy to maintain a sharp edge. All the knives are neatly organized in a compact, durable canvas tool roll-up for storage and portability. With the included step-by-step tutorial and beginner-friendly booklet, diving into carving has never been easier.

This versatile knife combo is perfect for creating everything from small figurines and spoons to pendants, ornaments, and intricate decorative projects.

Questions and answers

Is this set good for a complete beginner?
Yes. It includes the three knives most starter projects need, plus a strop, compound and a beginner booklet. The 20° bevel is ground for soft wood, which is where most beginners start.
Can I use these knives on oak or other hard woods?
BeaverCraft does not recommend it. The fine 20° edge dulls faster on tough material; for hard woods you want a steeper bevel and heavier blades.
What is in the box?
The C16 roughing knife, C6 chip carving knife, C15 detail knife, a leather strop, polishing compound and a canvas tool roll.
Do I need sharpening stones?
Not to start. The leather strop and compound maintain the edge between carvings. Add a stone later if you need to reset a bevel.
How big are the knives?
Blades are about 2 inches long and the knives about 6.75 inches overall, with 2-inch handles. They suit controlled cuts in the hand rather than two-handed work.
