U J Ramelson Basic Beginners Wood Carving Tool Set - 5 High-Quality Gouges and Chisels

Fantastic little carving set. The V-gouge is a little steep for my liking but preferences vary from user to user.They came razor sharp and ready to use right out of the package. Cut like no other chisel set I have owned before. I have bigger hands but the small handle still fit comfortably in my palm and stayed that way for a good few hours of consecutive carving.The variety of chisels in this set is perfect for smaller carving projects. Of course, I would certainly say get some larger regular chisels for hogging out material, but these can maneuver pretty much any angle or detail if you take the time to do it the right way.This is a quality American made product and I will certainly be buying from this company again in the future.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a beginners set but every tool here a beginners has a need for. Great quality sharp out of package a few minutes with strop and jewelers rouge and they are scary sharp.

The tools are well made and quite good looking. The handle would be a bit small for larger hands.

Excellent quality, recommended by experienced wood carvers in my club. I use for relief carving. The shorter size is easier for me to work with and control.

This is a great set. I like the feel of these in my hand, and they are very easy to control cuts. I can get nice fine detail. Make sure to maintain any of your tools for carving, these or others, with a strop or other sharpening method. These arrived sharp and ready to use.I recommend finding a better storage for these other than the box they came in. Mine end up jumbled often, as I carve and swap tools. I like keeping mine protected and organized when not in use.

Well i needed to move up with a few chisels and gouges and with limited space i have to keep my tools to a minimum.Took a gamble on these and lost. The V gouge is the worst I've ever come across. Practically unusable unless you carve at such a steep angle that it makes it unusable. It's like they forgot what they were doing and said the heck with it and tossed it in the kit. It looks like nothing in the pic. I included a pic of my $20 old timer for reference of a straight v gouge.I know demands for these tools are high, but come on and take some pride in your tools.

I added this set to expand an older set I inherited years ago. Same fine quality and smooth cutting. Excellent for fine detail work and well worth the cost.
