Welcome to Flexcut Tool Company Inc. | Flexcut Tool Company. Wood Carving | A.G. Russell Knives. What is the best knife for wood carving and whittling? Robin Wood. Woodcarving is so much easier if you have the right tools for the job and thankfully in this case the right tools need not cost a fortune. So what makes the best knife for wood carving and whittling and what should you look for when buying one? It should be made of a good quality steel, reasonably hard and take a good edge, most knives on the market you can take this one as read. It should be quite narrow from top to bottom in order to allow cuts in concave areas, anything over 15mm gets in the way, this is where most general purpose knives fail to make good carvers.

It should not have any sort of hilt or blade guard, these get in the way and are not needed for carving. They are only needed to stop the hand sliding onto the blade if using a stabbing type cut which we never do in woodcarving. A close up shows the big primary bevel created by rough grinding and the small secondary bevel forming the edge. The woodcarving knife should look like this with no secondary bevel.
