DenniesCare Wood Carving Kit Wood Whittling Kit for Beginners 20pcs Wood Carving Tools with 4pcs Carving Knife, Basswood Wood Blocks, Gloves, Storage Bag, Frosted Sponge, Gifts Set

Great for my grandson. He loves to carve.

We bought this for our grandson who loves to whittle with his pocket knife. I like that it has several tools for him to experiment with and an extra pair of gloves ...1 for the child and 1 for the adult to help give guidance..good for a beginner!

Bought for my 11 year old grandson. He has enjoyed them.

This kit really does have everything you need to start learning to whittle. It does include a small pair of gloves (for very small hands) and a larger pair of gloves would fit medium-large hands well (My hand is a medium woman’s hand in the pic). The sturdy canvas roll holds all carving knives in place well, has a small carabiner to hook on a backpack, and ties closed securely. The knives seem sharp, are comfortable to hold and if need to be sharpened a nice sharpener is included, as are a ruler, a pencil, a pencil sharpener, and 2 different grit sanding rounds. The 4 blocks of wood will just get you started on your whittling journey. The included spoon will really help you practice your techniques and maybe get you started with adding more detail. It would be nice for the kit to have a bag that could hold everything and make it easier to take everything with you.

This is a gift for a 9&1/2 yr. old girl who requested a whittling set. She will try it after Christmas.

It came with everything u need and is so easy to use but be careful the blades on the wood kit is very very sharp

I’ve never used a wood carving kit but saw this available and got it for my daughter. She’s 10 and loves all types of crafts. The other day she had some friends over and she took out this kit for them all to play with. It was the first time she had opened it and it took them all a little by surprise. Why are these tools so sharp? Why are there squares of wood? Where are the instructions? Dad why did you buy this for me? I explained they needed to be careful with this one as it is a real knife set so they need to wear the included gloves. After going through the rules the kids gave up on it in 10 minutes. Carving wood is hard and takes patience to go from a large square to something that resembles a hamster. When the other kids left and my daughter was alone she went back to it and worked on it for another hour. She’s patient and will want to spend the time doing this, it was just a bad group activity. Overall we’re happy with the kit. The included wood is soft but still wood, it’s going to take time to shape. The tools are all very sharp and work well. My only criticism would be that they could have included a small instruction guide for the best use of each tool. You can figure it out intuitively but some first steps or best practices would be nice.

This kit is well-thought-out in some regards, and sorely lacking in others. The tools seem well made, sturdy, and reasonably sharp, with solid, smooth handles, and the roll-up storage bag also seems durable and well made. The pencil, pencil sharpener, and knife sharpener all seem like junk. The gloves are meant for knifes, and won't do anything at all to prevent POKING/STABBING through their fibers - they are meant strictly to protect against flat blade edges. The included blocks of wood and the fact that there is a spoon blank is very cool - but there's zero instructions on how to use the tools, and the kit seems confused about whether it's trying to bill itself for kids (includes small kid gloves) or experienced pros.
