Tools and Hardware Reviews of BARTON CUTTING KNIFECustomer Review: Entry-Level carving knives Summary: 1 Stars
These knives are not what they are cracked up to be. I have two of them, and they sit in the bottom of my chip-carving bag. If you want a high quality knife, I suggest you buy one from Rich Notto. Wayne Barton's books and patterns are great, but his knives are very low quality.
Customer Review: Very little for the money Summary: 1 Stars
What do you get for $29.95 plus about $7.50 shipping?? Not much!! This knife comes in a cheap plastic cigar tube and it is not even sharpened ready to use. In fact, the one I got was sharpened like my lawn mower blade and it took me quite a while to get the correct angle and to get it sharp enough to use. You would think at the premium price you are paying for this it would come in a decent case and be expertly sharpened. Look at it closely....is it really worth $30?? You can get a whole set of quality cuttlery for what this little knife costs. They get you for the shipping too because that should be around $4.50 or so. Not worth the price !!
Customer Review: Very nice knife Summary: 5 Stars
This is the 4th carving knife I have used / purchased [ Butz / Flexcut / and pocketknife version ] - and it's so far my favorite. The reesin impregnated handle has a very nice feel to it and there is a solid impressive piece of steel in there. It's razor sharp out of the package with a couple strops of honing and holds it's edge well.
I would buy it again.
Jake
