FLEXCUT Whittlin' Jack (JKN88) 2-Blade Pocket Carving Knife, High-Carbon Steel (1.5″ Detail + 2″ Roughing), Aluminum & Wood Handle, 3 oz, 4.25″ Closed, Made in USA

The knife is sharp out of the box. It is a good knife for whittling. The tension on the blades is very tight to start with and hard to open. Opening and closing does get easier after several usages.

I hesitated buying this because of all the comments about difficulty opening and no blade lock. Turns out it behaves exactly like nearly all pocket knives from 50 years ago or older. We learned how to open and close them safely in Boy Scouts or from our whittlin’ grandfathers. The blade shapes and sharpness is absolutely perfect for the intended purpose!

Best whittling knife ever Especially since you cant get a oar carver anymore comfortable to hold and use blades are stiff but not to hard like people keep saying they must just ha e weak finger nails lol but it's good they are stiff because the blades stay put and you would not want this thing just opening easily especially with kids around because let me tell you sharp holy s**t I have never opened a k ife from the package and it been this sharp and when I say sharp I mean one wrong move with out protection and your getting stitches sharp but that is the best thing about this knife the becuse it's so sharp and the handle is comfortable and ergonomic you have superior control and cutting power best whittling tool money can buy for cutting power control and portability would highly recommend one recommendation to flexcut would be to put a lock on this thing then literally there would be no reason to not buy this knife

I like this knife for a couple of reasons. It's compact (great size and shape for a pocket, sharp out of box and overall seems well built. The only drawbacks to this knife is, it's not quite as comfortable when using for long periods of time compared to using other flex cut fixed blade products. After I bought it / used it, it is obvious that this product is for on the go, and it's great for that. The other thing, is that the knifes are fairly difficult to release from the knife (especially when using cut resistant tape/glove), and they can also fold in on you at times when carving. This is kind of a bummer. The knife however does not have a lot of wiggle in the blades side to side when carving, I feel like that comes along with how difficult it is to engage the blades. While these issues would not keep me from recommending the product, they are worth mentioning.

A wonderful knife. Holds a great edge. I made several carvings with it. Word of caution! This is NOT a locking blade. I ended up going to the hospital to get my middle finger stitched up because the blade snapped shut while I was carving. My fault for pushing too hard. Safety cut-resistant gloves on both hands is highly recommended! This knife is great for hiking and leisurely whittling. If you're into doing carvings from blocks, go with a fixed blade option.

Took this with me to Brazil and carved the whole time while there (2 months). Only needed to stop the blades the whole time. Sharp edge, great fit in the hand. Well work the price. Great addition to the other carving told I have at home.

I've used a small buck knife for years.. needed a new roughing knife. Something I could easily pocket. I like the locking option and was skeptical and a bit concerned over using a knife without a lock. Reviews concerned me of how difficult this knife was to open and the lack of a locking mechanism. After some thought and just being cautious.. I purchased anyway. I could not be any happier! I have a lot of different options. But I already know, this is my go to knife. Yes, it is stiff to open.. but there is absolutely no slop as im roughing out a carving. The stiffness, only adds to stability and safety i feel while carving with a non-lockable knife. It is scary sharp right out of packaging... but it most definitely holds that edge! Well worth what i paid!

Went for this off a recommendation. I have to say out of the box it’s sharp enough to rough out and detail pine. After an hour of whittling a few passes on the leather it was back and ready for the next project. So I’d say it’s a nice balance of hardness for general use. I heard complaints about how stiff the spring is to hold the knives. With any sort of manliness, it’s not a problem. Comfortable in hand. Lite in the pocket. The inlay is a nice touch as a talking point. Over all a good value for the money. I will be recommending it to friends and enemies.

Super scharf, sehr gute Qualität

Tres años con la navaja y sigue agarrando buen filo, tiene buen agarre y es cómoda para traerla en el bolsillo, una punta se desgastó poco pero funciona bien para marcar madera y tallar.

Vi dico solo che mi sono tagliato chiudendolo! Come da titolo è un bisturi per il legno. Il fatto che non si blocchino le lame non è un problema in quanto il senso del taglio e l'uso del pollice, rende la lavorazione sicura.

j'adore ce couteau à sculpter. L'acier est d'excellente qualité et l'affutage mérite quelques précautions car l'accident peut arriver rapidement. j'adore l'avoir avec moi pour tailler des batons que je trouve lors de mes balades à la campagne. un vrai plaisir d'avoir un bel outil

The product works wonderfully and other than it taking about 5 days longer than expected to arrive I had a good experience with this seller.
