I've been a wood carver for awhile and when I needed to replenish my tool chest, I turned to a few Internet searches. Beavercraft was one of many tool makers that were listed, but the one thing that made Beavercraft stand out above their competition was they didn't just offer a couple of carving tools. Beavercraft offered a wide variety of tools, along with the supplies needed to maintain those tools. Beavercraft also offered wood blanks, carving plans and free video tutorials online.
I initially ordered several tools through their Amazon store and was surprised at how quickly my order was fulfilled, but I noticed that several tools Beavercraft offers aren't available through Amazon and have to be ordered directly from Beavercraft. This isn't normally a problem for me, but given they are located in Ukraine, a country at war, I was concerned how long it would take for me to receive my tools.
I was surprised that my order was shipped within a day or two and arrived at my shop within a reasonable 2 weeks. All of this aside, I figure most people want to know if Beavercraft tools are quality tools. We'll, I am sure you can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars and get better made tools. I am also sure you won't find a better made tool in this price range. Just because a tool doesn't cost a fortune doesn't mean it's cheaply made.
Beavercraft tools come out of the box ready to use, razor sharp. They hold their edge well and the handles are strong and comfortable. I have been so impressed with my Beavercraft tools that I now own several of their Stohl knives, chisels, and their sharpening leathers. Make no mistake. I also use Hamby knives, Taylor chisels and others. Regardless of the name stamped on the blade, I have no problem comparing my Beavercraft tools. These are the reasons why Beavercraft has earned a 5...
Read moreI’m fairly new to woodworking. I spent years building street rods, custom smaller motorcycles and restoring antique automobiles. I had a motorcycle accident and subsequent spinal and nerve damage. Woodworking has given me a new outlet to create and build. I ordered a set of BeaverCraft knives and they have proven themselves to be absolutely fantastic. They are amazing to work with and the sharpness of the blades is consistent and resilient. I don’t want nor expect razor sharpness as that lends itself to over carving and unnecessary accidents. As my skills increase, I will be adding to my collection of BeaverCraft knives. They far exceeded my expectations and current skill level. Keep up the great work....
Read moreGood quality tools with very careful details, such as leather cases for tools or aprons, but above all I would highlight the customer service, I have spent years buying premium German, Swiss or American tools, looking for them in international distributors as if they were stolen relics, paying more expensive than I could afford, without being asked anything and without receiving a thank you email, this brand provides you with patterns, projects, videos, instructions for care and sharpening.. etc, definitely the best brand to consider if you are...
