BeaverCraft LS5P1 Wood Carving Strop Wood Carving Gouge Hook Knife Sharpening Honing Tools Strop Stropping Kit Leather Paddle Strop Spoon Carving Tools Sharpening Kit Sharpener with Polishing Compound

Easy to use and has worked for me.

Worth the investment? Yes! Even though I keep a flat leather strop next to it, I can actually use this sharpener for flat blades, too. But try to sharpen or strop a gouge or carving hook on anything else...this does the job flawlessly. What amazed me was how well made this tool is. It is a nice large size that matches my diamond plates in dimension. If there is one wish I have, it would be for one edge to on opposing sides to have a much tighter radius to accommodate smaller gouges.

This strop was reasonably priced, but it has a few issues: 1) A unique design, but the strop does NOT work with the "BeaverCraft Wood Carving Hook Knife SK1 for Carving Spoons". The hook on the knife is just to long and curves back way too much (the radius is not too small) to fit on this strop. I ground-down some of the tip (which I was unlikely to use anyway) and made it fit this strop. BTW, the "tutorial" (instructions) that comes with the strop is worthless. It applies more to stropping flat blades, not spoon/hook knives or gouges. 2) The stropping compound is very waxy and gummy. It works OK but is very messy and requires extensive cleaning off the knife when done. Not an easy task with a curved razor blade such as this. I like my other extra-fine green strop medium better. 3) The wooden sandpaper keeper-sticks are very roughly cut (right off the saw blade), and too large to fit the slot on the strop when you try to attach the sandpaper. This was relatively easily remedied by planing-down or sanding the sticks to fit the groove with the sandpaper attached. 4) The knife is what some would call "sharp" out of the box, but, IMO, not sharp enough to put to use in my shop. Overall, you can make it work with the "BeaverCraft Wood Carving Hook Knife SK1", but not without modifications.

A "MUST HAVE" to keep those knives sharp

Very handy and well made sharpening and stropping kit. Probably could have made something similar but not of this quality - well worth the price. Had a bit of a challenge fitting the abrasive paper, ended up shearing it apart with the stick. Might have been a bit careless on my part. The stropping compound smells like petroleum but works very well.

I hate bevercraft ,I got a set of there wood carving tools and tossed it in the trash because it was so poorly made...but I like this and have no complaints,if only you made woodcarving tools as well as the Japanese

Absolument parfait

Brilliant tool, I am a novice to whittling and was struggling to maintain a sharp blade on my spoon carving knife but this was easy to use and got my blade back to sharp in no time.

I was so pleased with this product, it made sharpening the hook knives I have a breeze. Really easy instructions sent to my in box in video form. I was able to get all 3 of my hook knives razor sharp with little to no effort. This is a fantastic item and a must for owners of Beaver Craft hook knives. Again I have several items from Beaver Craft and I am happy with them all. The price point is way lower than some but the quality is very high. Really happy with my purchase!

Perfecto
