The Flexcut Beginner Palm and Knife Set is built to help new woodcarvers tackle a wide range of projects with confidence and precision. Whether you're shaping spoons, detailing figures, or carving decorative reliefs, this four-piece set gives you the core tools needed to develop clean technique and controlled cuts from day one. Crafted in the USA with quality materials and attention to detail, this set balances reliability with versatility, making it a go-to starter for hobbyists, students, or anyone refining their craft.
Included are two carving knives and two palm tools, each built with Flexcut’s signature high-carbon steel blades. These blades come razor sharp right out of the box and hold their edge through tough materials. The KN12 Cutting Knife features a 1¼" blade that's perfect for general shaping, roughing, and controlled slicing. Paired with it is the KN13 Detail Knife, which offers a 1½" blade ideal for working in tight spaces, carving curves, or cleaning up intricate cuts. Both knives are fitted with comfortable ash wood handles designed for hours of carving without fatigue.
The palm tools round out the set with two essential profiles. The FR306 Palm Gouge has a #6 sweep and a 5/16″ (8 mm) curvature, making it excellent for hollowing spoon bowls, refining contours, or shaping flowing lines. The FR307 V-Tool features a 70° angle and a 1/4″ (6 mm) cutting edge—perfect for parting cuts, adding fine grooves, or laying in sharp detail. These palm tools are compact, giving you increased control over your cuts, especially when working close to your material.
Each piece in this set is proudly made in the USA, ensuring high craftsmanship and consistent performance. From the tempered steel blades to the smoothly sanded wooden handles, Flexcut’s commitment to quality shows in every cut. Whether you’re carving at your workbench or out in the woods, this kit offers the dependable performance and comfort beginners need to focus on learning technique, not fighting their tools.
