Flexcut's creative sets offer a pleasantly economical variety of essential hand carving tools. Each set includes a sculpted nylon palm-style handle equipped with a socket for holding the tangs of custom-designed Flexcut carving blades. Though they're held rigidly, blades can by removed readily by gripping between thumb and forefinger. In use, you can't tell you're not working with a single-purpose dedicated tool. Each set comes with an 11-pocket tool roll and a basswood practice blank with a stenciled design ready to carve.

The 5-Piece Set includes the handle and four blades: #3 and #6-3/8" gouges, a #9 1.5mm veiner and a 1/4" 70° V-gouge. The 11-Piece Set has all those plus 1/8" and 1/4" #11 gouges, #3 and #5-5/8" gouges, a 1mm 45° V-gouge and a 1/4" straight chisel.

Flexcut is offering a $5 mail-in rebate on the purchase of this set through December 31, 2009. Download the coupon here.
