Whittlin' Jack, with 1-1/2 inch Detail Knife and 2 inch Roughing Knife, 3 oz, Walnut Inlay Handle, (JKN88)

I hesitated buying this because of all the comments about difficulty opening and no blade lock. Turns out it behaves exactly like nearly all pocket knives from 50 years ago or older. We learned how to open and close them safely in Boy Scouts or from our whittlin’ grandfathers. The blade shapes and sharpness is absolutely perfect for the intended purpose!

The Pocket Jack knife is the same size and the carving jack but weighs less and is easier to use. I have had the Carving Jack for about a year and just recently got the Pocket Jack because I use the 4 tools on this knife 90% of the time. Significant advantages of this knife over it's bigger brother include: 1) Weighs less, 2) Easier locking and unlocking of the 4 tools, 3) Less likely to cut yourself with this knife (in my opinion) because it's locking and unlocking is smoother (with the Carving Jack, I've been lucky ... so far - it can get tricky getting the three sharp tools on one side to lock in and also fold, as opposed to just two on each side of this knife), 4) better value overall (with the Carving Jack you get a nice leather sheath, flex cut gold honing compound, and the combination strop/sharpening wood block with edges to sharpen all your tools. It's up to you if you feel you need these additional extras (regarding Point 4). I'm going to hang on to both - but I feel the Pocket Jack will be my preferred knife - time will tell. I've tried various carving tools over the past year or so and one advantage of these two knives is they're very portable and you can quickly get to carving. The other tools take a little more effort.

Arrived very quickly and well packaged. A very useful tool for small carving and will keep my husband occupied for hours. Have seen the same product in shops but much more expensive.

Excellent outil, avec cran d'arrêt sur chaque lame, très affûté, attention en le manipulant, ayez du sparadrap à portée de main !

Produit conforme a description. Tres bon pour commencer sculpture sur bois. Pour gravure prévoir lame plus fine style cutter pour plus de précision.
