Ordered this off Amazon for $59.99 and has since gone up to $61.95. Free ship with my Amazon Prime.

Interesting. After I signed out at Amazon the price went to $59.95 plus free ship. So go in and purchase without signing in first.

I believe the 6 blade version sells for around $100. It's sits on the same fame (I believe) but with two more gouges. I have the one above & use it when taveling. Since I rarely use gouges (not sure why), I've been using their new Whittlin Jack. It's got some flaws, but over-all, pretty decent for a folding pocket carver.

The Pocket Jack should suffice for 90% of everything a whittler would do. I've had the Carvin' Jack for 5-6 years and have never used the 3/4" #7 sweep knife blade and the 3/8" #1 straight chisel only once or twice. If I was going to buy a new one today I'd opt for the Pocket Jack.
