My son (23) requested a carving set for Christmas. I think he heard of Rocklers either from his dad or his uncle, who is a master carver.

These are really great tools, which come with a very sharp edge. They hold an edge very well. I have done at least 100 carvings with them and only had to hone them on leather. They still are very sharp.

I'm new to wood carving but I Have to say this is the best carving set for the money! I've bought cheap sets that couldn't carve soap & then I found these & I love them!Great for someone just starting out!

Excellent quality, especially for the price
I originally bought this set for an introductory printmaking class and have since relied on it for all of my woodcut plates. I had previously tried other, less expensive brands to save money (bad idea in my case). My Power Grip tools fit naturally with the hand, were ready to carve upon arrival, and have maintained their sharpness through a variety of types of wood. With that said, I suggest also purchasing a FlexCut Slip Strop for honing (it accommodates all the gouges and chisels included in this set).

The only things that are missing from this set and that I wish were included are the clear protective caps that go over each blade (so the blades can't bump into the inside of the case). I've seen many Power Grip sets like just like this one come with these caps and it'd be nice to have them since I carry my set around with me a lot at school. However, this isn't enough of an issue to affect my five-star rating. I recommend Power Grip carving tools to anyone/everyone.

Great tools for the price. They come very sharp and stay that way. They hold an edge as well as my more expensive chisels.

I received the item very fast, and it is a high quality set of tools. I ordered it with the Flexcut slip strop (item 60353), which matches it well. It requires resharpening periodically (as one would expect), but the slip strop sharpens it fast, and it holds an edge well.

I have had these tools for 5 years now and have done many carvings with these. Works great for 3D work as well as block prints. While the tools are small, they are well made and very high quality (especially for the price!). Hone with leather and you will not have any problems. The small U-gouge is pretty worthless, but the others are stellar. Great for small to med carvings. A great set at an amazing price... hard to beat the Power Grips.

Intro to carving, set was polished sharp directly from the box and the grip is well designed and comfortable. Bought for the price and was happy. I'm not a sranger to tools and these are good quality. I've used everyone including the 1/8 gouge. I would recommend buying a leather strop and abrasive to keep them honed and mirrior sharp. Flexcut sells a good small wooden one with leather glued to it for around $15; it works well for chisels of this size. Do some research on how to sharpen, youtube.com has some good advice as well as other carving web sites.

Nice, good tool set... Just kind of $$$
I love the set very much! It's a very nice and sharp tool set! The handle is very comfortable and fit my holding style, no matter holding "like a pencil" or whole-hand grabbing. One star off is because... It's definitely pricy... And i would like to have an even smaller v-shape tool for carving with a very thin line.

Good steel, handles weak
The carving chisels were sharp enough out of the box to use, but will take a finer edge, easily sharpened. the tools hold their edge well, too. The only negative comment that I have is that the wood used for the handles is not as strong as I would like, but then, I can carve new handles as needed. Overall, these tools are a pretty good deal.

For the money these have been very dependable gouges. They were very sharp when I recieved them and have been very easy to keep sharp. My only complaints. 1. the handle is a little loose on one and moves around. But I will glue and take care of that. 2. They went on sale the week after I bought mine. Happy carving!
