Amelia V. ★★★★★

These blades came sharpened perfectly out of the pack, and the carbon steel holds an edge through a whole afternoon of carving basswood without needing a strop. The 3-inch length gives me a lot of control for detailed work, and the 5-pack means I won't be ordering again for a good while.

Samuel ★★★★★

The 3-inch blade fits my medium duty knife perfectly, and the carbon steel holds an edge through a whole afternoon of carving without needing a touch-up. I grabbed the 5-pack so I always have a fresh one on hand when a project gets rough.

Ryan ★★★★★

The carbon steel takes a razor-sharp edge that lasts through several projects before needing a touch-up. Just wish they included a storage sleeve for the unused blades.
