A different carving knife.

[CV3]

I have been carving for about 20 of years. I have purchased many fine carving knives in that time. I have made one or two also. But I have not really felt comfortable with most of them. I was looking for something with a longer handle. A friend suggested I look at Preferred Edge Carving Knives web site. I did and a month ago I order two new knives from Mike, a rough out and a detail knife. It was an experiment, I did not know if I would like them. They were different than any carving knives I had seen. I got the rough out and detail knife. I thought they were the 2 knives I would use most and would give me a good feel for how the handles would work for me. I am very pleased with these knives. They are top qualities and handle like a dream. They came razor sharp and ready to go. I fined the longer handle has notably improved my blade control when using one or both hand. I know how carving knives are really about what the user likes. But these have been a real nice surprise. I am ordering one of his 6 knife sets. I just thought I would share about these tools.
