You bought a whittle too much all at once.
And by the time I realized this it was a whittle too late :)
That was a rather cutting remark.
Lol😂
I started carving with some Flexcut knives I bought years ago. After watching a few carving videos and doing some research on carving knives, I modified my Flexcuts to a full scandi grind. Essentially, I beveled the blade from the cutting edge to the spine in one continuous bevel instead of having a secondary bevel to form the cutting edge. This mirrors the grind used on more expensive, high end carving knives. The difference in performance is substantial with the modified edge geometry. I own a professional sharpening business and the sharpness of my knives was never a question. I can say definitely that the modified blade geometry makes the difference, which is why you see an increase in performance between the Flexcut knives and the OCCT knives. I understand that not everyone has the skill and/or equipment to heavily modify their blades but it sure is a good way to take a good, inexpensive knife and make it perform way above its price point.
Thank you! I wanted to give whittling a go but I’m on a budget, I already had an Opinel so when I spotted it on the thumbnail I had to watch. I’m so glad it’s a good knife for it!
For whittling and carving, the opinels are probably the best pocket knife value on the market. The carbon is easier to sharpen but you can get just as sharp with the stainless versions. The 8 is really nice for ergonomics but if you’re looking for something you can *actually* carry in your pocket...the number 6 and 7 are a bit more practical. My number 6 is always invisibly chillin in my front pocket
100% agree! My no 7 is perfect for all around carving and is one of my go to knives :)
Keep the "Old Fella" out of the way.? Har,! 😆
i found an old multitool in my toolbox, didnt work so i watched this video and i got the opinel no.08 8,5 cm and lied about my age on the website. wish me luck i hope i make good figurines. practice makes perfect.
Good choice! Keep that multitool on hand, mine gets used almost daily :)
Really loving my Mora 120 and 106 for larger whittling projects like spoons. My first carving knives. Excellent review.
Thanks! The Mora knives are indeed really good knives.
I trimmed an opinels blade down to 1.5” wharncliff. I only really use that much of it anyway and now have no risk of slicing fingers when carving with the tip. It has a nice handle, solid lock, super sharp, and it folds! Only $10 (bough it used), took maybe 15 minutes to modify with a dremel. I take that camping with me and leave flex cut safe at home.
Loved your comments on the Opinel because they are exactly what I've found to be true. Started whittling with it on a camping trip on a whim, and then realized it as an incredible whittling knife. super comfortable to use
Thanks! It is a nice little knife to take with ya.
hi I wanna start whittling with opinel. Is number 8 enough? or could you suggest me any number of opinel please?
The #6 to #8 would be my range of choices. Personally I like the #7 over the #8 as the blade is thinner.
thanks a lot man I love your works and videos u are guiding me in this whittling stuff
This was the video I was looking for. Looking to get into carving to make my own rhythm bones so I can learn to play the bones and make multiple sets!
Just starting to get into carving and this info was essential
I'm glad you found it helpful!
Definitely picking up some opinel knives as soon as I can. Ive heard so many awesome reviews!
I love my opinel! Make sure you pick up the carbon steel if you want some extra edge retention

Two kinda weird questions for more experienced whittlers (?) as I am a complete noob-
1: I've watched a few videos now (this channel is great, btw) and I don't really understand what makes these beginner knives and what a "professional" knife would be? If the HRC is roughly the same (>59) and you choose the type of steel you prefer, these knives all seem to range from $15-$60ish. What is an example of a professional knife? And what makes it better? Or is like the $60-$90 range the more professional (excluding custom jobs)? I'm coming from a 'knife as a weapon' world where I can use my $20 karambit as well as dudes that spend $300.
2: what is the hardest wood you would recommend whittling with? I see basswood as highly recommended for beginners (and what I am starting with) with a Janka hardness of ~410. But I've got some nice pieces of wood that are from 1100-1900 on the Janka hardness that I would like to take a stab at ;) but I am not sure if that is craziness.
Thank you very much in advance for your replies!
Good questions!!
Typically a good quality knife comes to you sharp and with the proper thickness, edge grind, length, and comfortable handles to be used for carving projects. Its along the mindset of "the right tool for the right job."
Generally, mass produced knives (flexcut, beavercraft, and focuser carving for example) are great to get started in but are not without some "refinement" issues. They have the right temper and edge but you can tell they have some gaps and shortcuts to make them more affordable.
Premium, hand made, whittling knives (Helvie, Drake, Silvern, and Deepwoods Ventures for example) have a much higher fit and finish to them, come with a more refined edge (appleseed vs flat) that lasts longer, more comfortable handles/options, and overall are just better quality as thus the more expensive price.
Both levels will get the job more than done, but its up to you to what you want to use.
As to the hardest wood I would use, I personally love how cherry and walnut turn out but they can be 2 to 3 times harder than basswood. This for me is my limit as it can take several times longer to carve and more strain on your hands and tools. You will have to keep the blades well honed and stretch your hand frequently to prevent cramps.
This was a very very good overview. i have a full set of Pfeil mallet carving chisels and some palm tools, a lot of OCC, and a number of Flexcut sets including all of the micro tool sets. I don't have the Pfeil knives, but those sound miserable. I can tell you first hand the Flexcut and OCC tools are the way to go in the lower cost tools. Once you get into Helvie and Drake, your price and availability change dramatically.
Thanks for the video.
You are most welcome!
Lynn Doughty, carver extraordinaire, in his YT vid "Old reliable - why I use this knife" (referring to his Stanley #199 utility knife, which he still uses), published 1/12/2016, at 11:37 he says "It's the hand that's behind the tool that does the work, it's not necessarily the tool. The tool is just an extension of this hand".
That quote is absolutely fact...just like weirdos saying to ban firearms cause they're killing people, uuhhh no..its the whackjob using the tool to hurt others, not the tool. The intent of a mind expressed thru the hands, by way of a tool.😂
This is a very helpful video...I am looking at buying some 2" blade whittling detail knives for figuring carving (cedar / bass/ pine) ...your review is super helpful..thank you for taking the time, spending the money, for this video. cheers
You're welcome! by the way, some other companies to look into that isn't on the list is Drake and Deepwoods Ventures
@@CarvingisFun I will search these other companies out...
So far my wife has picked me up some Mora blades 105 & 122 ..
I am looking into the Beavercraft C8 chip knife and the Hook knife leather strop kit & dual sided stropping paddle (based on your video recommendations.)
@@kan-zee How much do you weigh that your wife was able to pick you up?
Thanks for the video. :)
You're welcome!
I really like my Mora knives, although the larger feels more suited as a shop knife than for carving. The smaller is also my favorite knife. Otherwise, I'm really liking Flexcut for more detailed work.
I feel the same way, the shorter knives provide more control in the cuts.
great video
Thanks!
I have John Duncle knives, have you ever used them. So far I really like them, and there made in Ohio. I'm thinking about trying some flex cut knives also made in Eire Pennsylvania. Both made in USA big plus to me and thanks for the tutorial sounds like favor flex cuts.
I haven't used them personally bit know that they are excellent knives. I'll end up purchasing some eventually, really want to try em out.
Having just ordered a Whittlin' Jack (after multiple recommendations seen on your channel) while comparing it to other knives the thought hadn't crossed my mind that I'm getting two Flexcut quality knives for 25 a piece, just in a compact format. It certainly does make me feel more justified in landing on that as I like to whittle on the go probably more than I like to just sit at a work table and whittle with a bunch of space and tools around.
Think maybe shipping is a factor, My Mora 120 is excellent for removing big slices and you get a great curve cut, too thick for stop cuts though. I've got 3 Pfiel Canard knifes 1inch and 1 3/4 and they both came razor sharp and cut and hold an edge like crazy. Not tried OCC but believe they are excellent off a bit thin and prone to breaking a point. Flexcut by comparison don't seem to travel at all well most reviews I've read they turn up chipped or poorly ground. I'm just waiting a Sheffield made Proops Bros chip knife and can't wait to see what it does.
I actually jsut picked up a 4 piece Pfeil set with both Canard and Schaller knives and while I really like the steel quality, I didn't like how the edges were ground on the knives. They were inconsistent at best. Still decent knives but needs some work on them to meet my requirements. Maybe I'm just spoiled with my tools, ha!
All of my Flexcuts (spent maybe $1000 on them thus far) have all come to me without any chips and are blistering sharp out of the packaging. This may be different for those outside the US, but my experiences have been nothing but positive for Flexcut.
Gonna have to add the Proops Bros tools to my list of things to try out, looks pretty cool :)
I got beavercraft first and the blade is just so thick. I was looking for a thinner option. Thank you for doing side by side with the flex cut. I almost had a heart attack seeing the drastic difference.
It is a noticeable difference indeed :)
I had a suction fit too. Har,! 😉
very beautifull videos! what do you use on your right tumb? the green protection?
Thanks!
That is a self adhering bandage wrap (ace wrap).
@@CarvingisFun do you alsof have An Instagram account?
Indeed I do!
instagram.com/carving_is_fun/
You have very informative videos and I am shopping for a knife now. Your review on the schrade oldtimer workmate seems to do it for me. you give it a good review. However I noticed that it is made in China, and the steel is stainless, and it is inexpensive. do you think this is a good option, as the Flexcut is superior. I like this oldtimer because it is a pocket knife and the 4 blades make it versitile. Just asking for your opinion and if you have a better suggestion.
Also, are you going to do a video on the gloves you use to carve? Thanks
Howdy!
I do indeed have a video on what gloves I have used and what ones I like. That video will be coming out on the 27th, but my favorite ones I found are the DEX Fit Level 5 cut resistant gloves (Cru553) as they are comfortable to wear and have a rubber palm to grip the wood easily. They protect the hands well enough from accidental knife slips but not so much from pokes.
I will also be making a dedicated video review video on the Old Timer 44OT, but that won't be available for a little while. There will be a more in-depth pocket knife review video with 12 different knives that includes the 44OT on the 31st. The 44OT may be made in China, but for the price and what you are getting, it is a good knife. I found the steel to be on the lower end of my preferred hardness range but it still holds a razor sharp edge if properly honed and maintained. For the price, I can't think of a better option. It is a solid all around EDC whittling knife for under $20 USD
@@CarvingisFun Thanks so much for the reply and advice. There are so many knives to choose from, it makes it difficult. I remember you mentioning about 440 steel also, and a hardness rating above 56. trying to keep all that in mind.
Thanks again.
@@stevenc6256 You are most welcome! I completely understand the difficulty in picking out knives, I think I have purchased over $1,000 in different knives to see what ones I like best and wanted to share what I have found with everyone.
If you are looking for 440 steel, try and target 440C steel as they typically have a better hardness around 58-61, depending on how they were manufactured.
If you want some good choices, the Sarge Vision Maker Carving Knife, Opinel Carbon Steel knives, and Master Carver Pocket Whittler are great options as well (all in the pocket knife video I'm making).
@@CarvingisFun Thanks for the added advice. look forward to you other videos
Great detailed video dude!
And I couldn't agree more. Beavercraft is a brand I always recommend to newbies. Budget friendly, but still quality. They were my first knifes. Carved many spoons with them.
PS: I see that you don't like the old timer 24ot too. It's a piece of junk.
Thanks!
Beavercraft is a great brand for those looking to get into whittling and wood carving. They are nice enough for long term use and cheap enough for little to no buyers remorse.
That old timer 24OT is junk that uses junky steel. Wish they made it better, heck it would still be worrh it at $50 - $70 if they just used decent steel.
@@CarvingisFun 100% agreed. The idea is good, even the ergonomics aren't bad. The steel is the biggest problem. I wonder if they were as bad before the company went Chinese?
Well the 24OT and the 44OT use completely different steel and using them side by side shows how bad it really is. But from what I have seen from other people who were around before the change, the steel quality was pretty good. I have an old (and quite beaten up) version of the american made one. I was able to put a good edge back on it and it sits in my wifes box of "neat knives" as she like how it looks.
Hey Poop - agree they are cheap (price) and just know I found out they are cheap (quality) too! Had a blade break off at the handle due to the inheirant design weakness. Wow - imagine it snapping off when you are whittling. It startled me and had to count fingers! BC immediately made it right with me and sent me a new one, and a nice apology gift too. Excellent customer service.
@@jeffcalvin5516 I've never had a beavercraft break or damage.... Don't be offended, but I'd say that is improper use.
I'm more interested in chip carving, seems like I can get more practice chip carving cuz here in Oregon we got branches everywhere lol. I got one of those Beavercraft wood carving knives (one you've got here)and an SAK, would they also be good for chip carving? Or should I get one specifically for that task?
Seen a handful of your videos, I enjoy the content.
Howdy!
While you can use a SAK and the standard beavercraft whittling and woodcarving knives for chip carving, you will find that you may have better controll with an actual chip carving knife.
Quick question, I typically use branches for whittiling not so much chip carving. What do you plan on carving into the branches?
@@CarvingisFun hi, thanks for the advice.
I don't really know what I would chip carve, maybe only practice basic cuts at first. I recently thought I could maybe get some pine from a hardware store and have them cut some blocks for me or go to a craft store and find some plain wood shapes to practice chip carving with.
If you pick up some pine from the hardware store, pick up premium pine or poplar wood as they are soft and easy to carve. Most hardware stores have smaller pieces of wood that would be ideal sizes for chip carving.
Other great wood options to start chip carving is basswood and butternut as they are soft and easy to carve.
@@CarvingisFun ok, thanks!
Thinking maybe about getting the Flexcut whittlin jack just because I would prefer to have two flexcut knives in one place instead of getting 2 for almost the same price.
Good choice! Just a heads up, the blades are be pretty stiff when new, making them hard to open and close.
Flex Cut - великолепные лезвия (!) , но не покупаю из - за ручек, такую форму не приемлю, выглядят потрясающе, но в работе абсолютно неудобны, если бы они продавали лезвия отдельно, как " Бобер" купил бы с удовольствием несколько штук. Самыми эргономичными и удобными для резьбы считаю ручки на ножах ОССТ, Helvie, Drake. Даже на Pfeil переделал все ручки, но это было давно, хотелось бы иметь и Flex , но с переделкой это слишком затратно,лучше купить лезвия у OCCT, или кого-то другого и выстругать свои ручки .
Как всегда отличный обзор по инструменту 👍🤝👏 ! С уважением и с наступающим Новым Годом! Здоровья Вам!👋
I agree, the handles on the Flexcut knives are not the best. The Flexcut Sloyd knife and Skewed Detail knife are different and really comfortable, I like those a lot. Have a happy new years as well!
Knives are not so easy to come by in the UK or Ireland. And I'm not clued up on imported knife laws. Do you have any recommendations for novice whittlers across the pond?
Some nice brands are available over there like beavercraft and flexcut, plus you can find some ha d made ones on places like etsy. A good option in your neck of the woods that I like are the knives made by Ray Iles.
As to the knife laws, I believe you cant carry them but you can def use them for crafting in a designated area.
@@CarvingisFun thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll get a look at some Ray Iles. I didn't realise Beavercraft knives were available too. Handy. Thanks again. 😊
What are your thoughts on puukko knives?
From my understanding, puukko knives aren't primarily made for wood carving and whittling (some are, especially bushcraft), but even then it can surely be an effective tool to carve wood and to great effect if the user is familiar with handling the knife.
I haven't personally handled one or used one long term, but I can see them being a great primary carver if it fits the users application. Now I have to add yet another knife to my list to try out.
@@CarvingisFun thank you for replying! I would love to see a video on you reviewing one for whittling and carving. Perhaps one with a smaller blade wouldn't be too dissimilar from the morakniv 106/120?
what do you think about flexcut pelikan knife?
I think it makes for a great natural slicer, which makes it easy to cut through the wood.
The shape of the blade will naturally want to perform a slicing motion, which you won't easily experience with a flat blade knife.
On the flip side, it takes longer to hone on a leather strop as you have to rotate the blade while stropping.
@@CarvingisFun Thanks for answering. I'm learning to carve and at the same time training my bad English. I hope you do not mind.
Ha! I don't mind at all :)
When wafering round concave edges, the pelican is a great knife. It is meant for that particular job.i have both small and large... All I need
I have to ask about your thumb guard. What brand is it?
the thumb guard is just a self adhering ace wrap that I got at the pharmacy. Simple and effective
You really cant read too much into steel varieties. How the steel is heat treated is just as important in determining hardness. 100% with you on the opinel. An old machinist I used to work with swore by them..
Very true!
I have a Pfeil and it's my favorite short blade whittling knife. It came razor sharp and keeps an edge. It even looks like a better wood to metal fit than the ones you have. Either your's are counterfeit or the quality has really gone down in recent times.
I'm trying to choose whittling knives as I'm just starting, so this video was very helpful. Thank you. I've literally considered all of these knives! The way you showed the difference in steel thickness of the More and the Flexcut was useful, I didn't realise how thick the Moras are. It looks like the two Moras use the same blade blank, just sharpened on opposite sides!
It's surprising how poor the Pheil knives are.
As far as pocket knives are concerned have you tried Rough Ryder knives? They are very affordable and I hear that they punch above their weight. They make some with carbon blades too.
Opinels are a great design, with quality steel. Have you seen this mod video? th-cam.com/video/5aPPeTk_OpY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again.
I'm glad you found the video useful!
The Pheil knives were a bit of a disappointment, especially since they had such high reviews from various shops and even said that they were "sharp and ready for immediate use." The amount of work I had to put into mine to make them usable was crazy for what I paid for them.
The Rough Ryder knives have passed through my radar, but I was unimpressed with the 440A steel that they chose as it is below the recommended hardness threshold for a good whittling knife. Now don't get me wrong, they are still decent knives and you can whittle with them, but the edge will wear out faster that of the flexcut knives.
I have seen the mod video and thought it to be a great way to customize your knife. I am considering buying another one to do something similar.
@@CarvingisFun i had a pfeil knife already in my shopping cart, as a swiss i have to support local companies ;), now however i will buy a morakniv knife. Thanks a lot for the review
You're welcome! Lets be fair though, if you are capable of properly reshaping the blade and honing it sharp they are decent tools.
@@CarvingisFun unfortunately i am not😂🙈
Dont you think the BeaverCraft ones have really poor quality of blade? I bought my first knife from them and he went completely dull after one day. Now i have problem to sharpen it properly;/
Poor quality? No, but all blades will go dull after extended whittling sessions.
I personally hone my blades on a leather strop every 30 min or so of whittling just so they keep their edge and prevents me from having to take it to a stone to reprofile and sharpen
You gotta strop those bad boyz
👍
🙂
❇
TLDR for the video?
TLDR;
If you are a beginner, Flexcut or OCC Tools.
If you need cheap, beavercraft.
If you need a sloyd, Mora 120 or 106.
If you need a pocket knife, use the one you have or flexcut whittlin Jack
the buck knife is a win, but you wont get great detail.
You're very generous @ 19:55 re. that Old Timer carving knife. Blades hitting the liners is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The more people accept that kind of crap quality, the more crap quality we will see. Old Timer used to be an American brand, and all their knives were high carbon steel. But the basic quality was good. Then, a Chinese company bought the brand and now the basic quality is bad and they're using really cheap steel as well. I think it's 3Cr or something equally soft like that.
21:30 re. the steels the Bucks use. 420J2 is not very good, but at least Buck will do a decent job hardening it. The nicer one, they use their 420HC (high carbon) which they harden to about Rc 58. They use this steel in most of their knives.
22:49 re. SAKs. As you say, they're a little softer (Rc 56) but at least they're good quality. There's kind of a closet corner of the whittling hobby that Chris Lubkemann started whittling with a SAK. Here are two model tips:
1) Hiker. It's a 3 layer SAK, with the middle layer being a saw. That's useful for cutting up a nice piece of deadfall here and there as well as for making notches and such. On the back, it has the Phillips, instead of the corkscrew, which is more comfortable against the palm while whittling.
2) Recruit. This one's a bit smaller at only 2 layers (you lose the saw) and a bit shorter. However, its very inexpensive, something like $15. The back is totally smooth, as there are no back tools.
For either of the above, Re-shape the small blade into a pointy wharncliffe and grind a shallower edge angle. Remove the keyring and grind down the nub, as that becomes a hot spot immediately when whittling.
23:00 re. SAK knock-offs. AVOID THEM. They're poorly made, and of poor materials, as well as not being comfortable in the hand. I would even go as far as to recommend just throwing them away and investing in a basic Victorinox Swiss army knife. They're not that expensive. Anyone can spare $15 - $35 as a lifetime expense. (By the way, some of the thicker models even have a wood chisel in the back; I wonder if that makes up for the fact that they're too thick to handle comfortably for long periods of time...)
23:57 I have a Leatherman Charge Al also. Great multi-tool, and I like the 154CM blade too. It's better than their standard 420HC, which they don't do as well as Buck. Probably not as good as the Flexcut though. Bad for whittling, except big stock removal, as it's so big.
25:19 re. Opinel #7 Carbone - Watch out for those, as there is no blade guard, and they're sharp all the way to the bottom. The hand can easily slide down onto the blade. I had a #6 carbone; it was too small. I have a #8 Inox (stainless) now, and it's a more comfortable size. The blade shape, with all its belly, is more suited to food prep than whittling, though rough whittling can certainly be done. The small blade on the Victorinox is more suited. Mod up a Victorinox Hiker or Recruit as I noted above and you'll quickly forget about the Opinel for whittling. Another nice thing about a SAK is that you have a large blade that you can use for general purpose uses and food prep, then hold back the small blade for whittling. Then, you also have a couple other tools. I'm going to mod the can opener into a skew chisel on my next one... (I tried it on my current one, but got greedy and ground off the hook, which is what kept it from retracting too far into the handle...)
Good video overall; I'm going to check out some of your other ones.
All good assessments :) I agree that I was being generous on the Old Timer knives, primirily because I was still impressed by how well they cut for the price. I have an old american made version that my wife keeps in her little collection box but the quality is no where near the same now as what it use to be.
Also, my SAK knock off was free :) it was one of those giveaways with a business's name on it like a business card.
Non locking folders are not safe! More people cut their fingers with these kind of knives. If you are using a folder buy one that locks!
So much for long term performance...
What knife were you interested in knowing more about? Some of the knives originally purchased were deemed not worth my time and dropped.
Overboard? Just a little bit 😂. Jk I’m sure it was for educational and research purposes 😝
Ha! Well, when I want to know something I dive deep :)
Victorinox Swiss Army, does not make a Wood Carving knife that has two carving blades, a saw, and a large roughing blade. Blades that have 58 or better Rockwell hardness or 440 or better stainless steel. Just three slots (not sure what they are called) handles. that are rounded for comfort, with locking blades. Folded no more than 3 1/2 inches long. If all the carvers out there will unite and keep bugging Vicky about it, I am sure they will listen.
If they make one, I'd buy it!
$600 and i bet you only use three of them! Lol.
Ha! Yep maybe 2 or 3 knives get used the most :)
@@CarvingisFun It’s what we do 😂😂
Save the money and get the OCC. Flexcut is not even in the same class.
