Flexcut Whittlin’ Jack Review
For those of you looking for a great whittling knife with more versatility at a decent price, the Flexcut Whittlin’ Jack may be the knife for you!
The Flexcut Whittlin’ Jack is a great wood carving knife that comes with two different sized blades to allow the user to have both a longer roughing knife and a shorter detail blade for a more versatile user experience.
This combined with the high carbon steel blades and comfortable aluminum handle make for an excellent tool, the only real downside is that the blades are a little stiff to open at the beginning and need to be broken in.
