Hi,

www.littleshavers.com is only selling in USA. I have a coupel of Frostsknives. the edge will become unsharpened very fast. I want a knife with a thinner knife-blade.

Well if you want a thin blade and a great knife, try www.woodysknives.com... I have 3 of his knives and my wife liked them too, so she has a set as well! I also got a couple of his chip knives...good knives! Or Flexcut blades are also thin. I have some of those and like them too......secret to any knife is knowing how to sharpen and strop.

Hello,

For good, sharp knives, my preference would be:

1. Helvie roughout knife
2. Ron Wells knife
3. Denny knife

If you have a lot of money, and want a top of the line tool, the Diobsud Forge knives are top knotch, as are the North Bay Forge. Rick sells all of these at little shavers. Any tool you buy from Rick will come to you ready to use right out of the box. Rick ships all of his tools razor sharp.

Happy Carving,
Dan Heine

I just bought two Rick Butz knives at Woodcraft on sale for $19.99 for both. I know they ship oversees. I'd like to see how they compare to my Denny knife.

Hi,

Thanks for the hint. Rick Butz knives seems good and to a very acceptable prize. But I don´t understand what type of payment they use?

Yours sincerely

Mats

I'll ask or maybe I'll call for you when I get some free time today and I'll post back. My wife puts me on a leash when I go in the store.
