These chip carving knives are some of the finest available, and are the only two knives used by Wayne Barton to produce world class work. The blades are high carbon alloy steel tempered to hold a razor edge and are polished to a mirror finish. Handles are made from laminated hardwoods, and will last a lifetime with reasonable care. Made in the USA to Wayne Barton's specifications. Each knife comes protected by its own plastic container.Tools and Hardware Reviews of Set of Wayne Barton 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.
