Welcome from the snowy left coast!
I'll agree with Donna about knife sets, particularly 'cheap' ones. You rarely find cheap sets to contain anything worth keeping.
However, if you are looking for an inexpensive carving set, there's a forum member that has a business selling quality carving tools for a price that won't break your bank. Click on
Little Shavers. He also knows everything there is to know about sharpening.
As to questions - well, bombard away! The most helpful and easy to talk to people in the world are wood-carvers.
