Note: This product is only roughly ground at the factory; you need to finely grind the blade yourself. The grinding head can use coarse sandpaper for various knives instead of the finest grinding stone. Avoid contact with water and oil. It enhances the sharpness of the blade and provides 20% metal surface rust prevention and polishing

Knife Sharpening Knowledge: Sharpen the inside edge first for round knives, then the outside edge. For flat knives, sharpen the flat side first, then the beveled side (back). I recommend users not to use machine sharpeners to avoid affecting knife quality

Tool application:

There are many types of carving knives, basically divided into two categories. One type is the 'Weng Guan Shape' rough knife, commonly known as 'Chop Large Rough', 'Blank Knife', while the other type is the 'Drill Strip Shape' smoothing knife, mainly used for carving fine blanks and smoothing. The widest chisel is 4-6 centimeters, the narrowest chisel is as thin as a needle tip. Beginners in wood carving should first understand their respective uses before custom purchasing from origins, manufacturers, or blacksmith shops

Round Knife: Used for round shapes and round indentations. It's also very useful for carving traditional flowers like flowers, leaves, petals, and flower stems, which need to be shaped using a round knifeThe circular knife's horizontal movement saves effort and can handle both large fluctuations and small changesMoreover, the lines of the round knife are uncertain, making it flexible and easy to explore when usedDepending on different uses, the models of round knives should vary; the size range is generally between 5 cm and 0 cmBetween 5 centimetersThe edges of the knife used for carving round figures should be smoothed to form an arc shape, otherwise when carving clothing patterns or other indentations, it won't push smoothly and can damage both sides of the indentationsIf doing relief work, you should retain the two corners of the blade and use their sharp edges to carve corners of the ground. Therefore, you need to equip two typesThere are also differences between round knives and reverse ones; the bevel is inside the groove while the straight back is for regular round knives. It cuts deeper into wood and is more suitable for round carving, especially during the roughing and carving stagesThe bevel is on the back of the blade, and if it's straight in the groove, it's a reverse round knife. It's suitable for deep woodwork and can move smoothly or carve the ground; it's more versatile in relief workThe shape of the round knife can also be made into an iron rod bent shape according to needs, allowing it to reach deeper parts for carving and engraving holes

Flat Knife: The blade edge is straight and mainly used for splitting and smoothing irregularities on wood surfaces to make them smooth without marks. Larger models can also be used for carving large surfaces with a blocky feel. When used properly, it creates a brushstroke effect like in painting, appearing vigorous and vivid. The sharp angle of the flat knife can carve lines, while intersecting blades can remove knife marks or engrave patterns. Swedish and Soviet woodcarving figures often use flat knives due to their strong wood texture

Oblique Knife: The blade has an angle of about 45 degrees, mainly used for smoothing corners and joints in works. If carving around the eyes of figures, an oblique knife is better. Material knives are divided into forward and backward oblique to suit various directions. In Shanghai boxwood carving, an oblique knife is often used to carve hair strands; it uses a twisting motion to carve hair effects that are more vivid and natural than using a triangular knife

Zhonggang Knife: The blade is straight with a slope on both sides. Also known as a "Seal Knife." Traditional carving believes that Zhonggang Knife's edge is centered, using it for roughing can maintain a straight edge, keeping surrounding parts unaffected by vibration. Zhonggang Knife is also used for carving patterns on clothing and props

Triangular Knife: The blade edge is triangular-shaped, with its sharp point concentrated at the middle angle because its cutting edge is on both sides. To make a triangular knife, suitable tool steel should be chosen (usually 4-6 mm round steel), milling out a 55-degree to 60-degree triangular groove, smoothing both sides, and sharpening the edge. A larger angle results in thicker lines, while a smaller angle produces finer lines. Triangular knives are mainly used for carving hairlines and decorative patterns, and are also commonly used in printmaking and watermark woodcutting art for plate-making. During operation, the triangular knife tip pushes against the wood board, ejecting wood chips from the triangular groove, carving lines in the area passed by the triangular knife tip

Yuanwan Knife: Commonly known as "Monk's Head" and "Butterfly Chisel", with a rounded arc-shaped blade edge. It is a smoothing knife that falls between round knives and flat knives, available in two types: round arc and oblique arc. When flat knives and round knives are not suitable, they can be used as replacements. Its feature is relatively gentle, neither as flat as a flat knife nor as deep as a round knife, making it suitable for smoothing uneven surfaces

When choosing to use the above tools, pay attention to mastering the differences in usage based on blade thickness

The so-called blade refers to the actual cutting surface used. The thinner the blade, the sharper it is but also less durable. Based on this situation, the blade for roughing can be slightly thicker to withstand hammer blows and heavy digging; for smoothing purposes, the blade should be thinner as thinner blades produce finer pieces that can carve wood smoothly without gaps
