My Grandson (then just over 1) ordered my set from EvilBay. I was looking, he hit return, I was hovering over buy now. Thought I might as well 
Prefer my Flexcut Carvin' Jack though
. Stays razor sharp and all contained in a folder Price of £100 is a little dear though

I got mine off here secondhand and love it.
Word of caution
- I was advised to get a "wrong handed" one so you slice away from you instead of toward you. I use pull strokes more, so got a normal right handed one.
This doesn't read to good for them though, http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/forum/f38/flexcut-carvin-jack-1151/ , and axminsters don't appear to stock them anymore :yikes:

Love these wood spirits... as I have said before. Great tutorial, going to have to have a go myself...
Something I have never tried so far but having seen the tutorial I might have a go. I like to make hiking staffs and walking sticks however I have rather different approach to them than most you will find.
