The kit arrived on Saturday, which was only a few days after I ordered it. Everything\u00a0 you see in the picture is included in the set except the granite counter-top. My wife Gloria owns that.<\/p>\n<p>The kit is ordered by glove size. Yes, realy. The glove is Kevlar and can\u00a0help prevent whacking a finger or palm with the verrry sharp tools. A stab will probably still get me but a slice may be avoided. The glove will fit either hand.<\/p>\n<p>The white cube at\u00a0top right is jewelers rouge used to &#8220;charge&#8221; the leather strop; which is the green block at the bottom of the lid. These two items are used to keep a very fine edge on the knife and other tools. The last item in the bottom right of the lid is a leather thumb guard to help prevent the little cuts suffered when making paring cuts toward the thumb on the knife hand.<\/p>\n<p>In the bottom of the box is the business card and the (to be) most used carving knife. The rest of the tools\u00a0are assorted small gouges and veiners. I won&#8217;t go into detail on them. Note that every sharp edge tool includes a guard.<\/p>\n<p>The nice wooden storage box is also included.<\/p>\n<p>Every tool is pre-sharpened and ready to use when received. No tedious work developing the cutting edges. All I\u00c2\u00a0have to do is maintain the edge provided.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion Rick Ferry does a great job in putting a useful set of tools <em>into<\/em> a beginners hands. The best part is there is safety evident everywhere. Don&#8217;t take my choice of the word &#8220;<em>into<\/em>&#8221; to literally. ~ Dan&#8217;l<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the wood carving set I ordered from Little Shavers Woodworking Supply.
