FLEXCUT Right Handed Carvin Jack 2.0, Folding Multi Tool for Woodcarving, Includes 6 Blades, Made in USA, JKN291

Very good quality, cuts balsa wood like butter. Some people were complaining about wobbly blades, I disagree, you don't feel it at all when using it.

I love flexcut knives and gouges and wanted something to take with me into the bush, to test timber im finding, and a bit of general carving on the run, thought this would be perfect. It is handy, BUT, dont expect this to lock into place crisply like your Spyderco or Benchmade. The poorly designed lock on this leaves all the blades with a big amount of up and down free play when in the open locked position. Measured from the tip of the blades we are talking 3-4mm movement which is a lot imo,(I just measured it) way too much for a knife this expensive and for a wood carving knife, its a very sloppy and poor locking design from Flexcut, which is unusual for them from my experience. You dont want your blades moving around up and down while carving. There is zero side to side play and has an adjustable torque bolt to tighten it if it becomes loose, so at least thats a nice upgrade over the last model. I own thousands of dollars worth of Flexcut gear, its my favourite carving gear, and ive come to expect pretty high quality as far as non custom knives and chisels go. The quality of build of this knife is pretty good, feels as good in the hand as a carving jack can with this many blades, it has nicely machined alloy scales, nice quality sheath too, blades are all high quality and the usual flexcut sharp, but the play in the blades will be a deal breaker for many. Ive read of others with the same issue so I dont think its isolated. The lock seems more of a safety feature than to lock the blade in place. Flexcut have disappointed me here. I live over the other side of the world to flexcut, its probably not worth me sending it back as they will probably tell me its within spec and I won't have the knife for a year going by a few reports ive read. Hope my review helped you, happy Carvin and cheers.

You get what you pay for here. Years ago, I bought an Old Timer Splinter (240T) on the cheap. It was very dull, and even after I sharpened all the tools, it was a pain to use. I own some Flexcut carving knives, which are extremely sharp, so I decided to try the Flexcut Carving Jack 2.0. What a difference quality manufacturing, materials, design, and finishing make. Every tool is razor sharp, and the geometry as well as the locking mechanism make it a pleasure to use right out of the box. It's not cheap, but it packs several carving tools in an easy-to-carry package. If you don't want to travel with a tool roll but still want to be able to carve, this is your best bet. 5 stars for the balance of usability and portability.

Teuer, aber grossartig!

This is a great little knife. I was expecting having to deal with some minor issues such as angles when carving and difficulty in opening some of the blades as past reviewers have mentioned. Neither of those two has been an issue. The lock back feature feels very secure, not enough is said about it either. It's a really nice feature. The strop block that's included is also a really great little extra, although I didn't need it right away because this thing comes razor sharp out of the box. The sheath is nice thick leather and fits the knife well. I'm very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy again.
