Is this set good for a beginner?

Yes. Seven shapes cover most basic carving cuts, and the short blades are easy to control on small work. You will still need to learn sharpening and rust care.

They are high carbon steel, so they can rust. Dry them right after use and wipe on a thin coat of oil.

What comes in the box?

The seven carving tools only. No case, roll or sharpening stone is included.

How big are the knives?

Each tool is about 17.5 cm long with a 2.5 cm blade and a 15 cm rosewood handle. The whole set weighs about 249 g.

Is $32.99 a good price?

It is the best new price found as of November 5, 2026, and sits at the low end of the recent range. Only two stores list it new, so stock can be limited.
