Tools and Hardware Reviews of SET OF W.B. CHIP CARVING KNIVES
Customer Review: Great knives, especially if you take time to tune them up
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my knives directly from Wayne Barton at a weekend class that he held a number of years ago. At first, I was a little put off by the fact that we spent at least the first 90 minutes of the class tuning-up the blade of the main cutting knife. We spent a good percentage of the time removing the "hip" where the bevel ends. In the end, the lower half of my blade shined quite literally like a mirror. Wayne encouraged us to use a strop and jeweler's rouge to provide the last bit if scalpel-like sharpness. For the most part, I'm able to keep my blade sharp with just the strop and rouge, and an occasional touch-up with the fine stone. My knives are at least 12 years old and have accompanied me on numerous adventures, including a trip to a Yanamamo village in the Amazon jungle, yet they still look like the day I bought them. I still keep them in the original plastic tubes, with a small slice of cork in the bottom to protect the blade. I can't imagine a better knife for chip carving, but then again, I've never used another, nor felt any need for anything better.
