Review for model:

A nice tool for small carving works (cutlery, boats for kids, etc.). The only thing is you have to sharpen the blades. And buy a suitable sheath. I recommend it.

Useful, handy and well-made gadget

Needs a bit of sharpening. It’s not a classic chisel, but it manages small tasks in soft wood.

The pocket knife is handy, only the longer tools bend slightly when more force is applied (they return to their original shape due to their elasticity)

Moderately sharp, the longer elements bend easily and in some moments when using more force, they would fold. Great toy, helps to relieve stress. So many tools in one place for such a price. I think it's definitely worth it.

Solid construction and good quality

Solid. Sensible choice of tools. It’s worth sharpening the knives at the start, because the factory sharpness can be much improved. Remember, it won’t replace classic chisels, but you can do a lot with it.

A nice little knife for small carving jobs.

I haven't tested it yet, but the size is ok, one tool is a bit harder to open but it's not a big deal, could be sharper.

Nicely made and fitted. I thought it would be a little bigger, but it's not too small. Good control while cutting. Factory sharpness for me is very good. I bought it for fun and to always have it in my backpack.

Great for light, precise tasks – really cool.

The pocket knife works well outdoors, it's even easy to sharpen and holds well, but it's worth resharpening it well before first use, oiling it (65Mn is Chinese carbon steel with added manganese) and buying a few extras for the set. Some kind of sheath, a pocket sharpener that will reach every corner of the blades, and a larger knife for rougher whittling. The simple blade from the pocket knife is more for details.

After several weeks of intense use, the main blade has considerable blade play. The sharpness is fine, and the compact construction.

It certainly makes an impression. It can handle working with wood, too. Handy. 5!

Great tool for woodworking. You can easily make a spoon or a cup. If you wanted to buy each tool separately, it would take up a lot of space and cost several hundred, and here you have everything in one "pocket knife."
