If you don’t have the budget or need for multiple pieces (or just want to replace your primary blade), this Detail Whittling Knife could be the best whittling knife for you. This single detail knife can easily fit in a drawer or on a workbench, and is still versatile enough to tackle a wide range of whittling projects. It doesn’t include any kind of storage, but that can be solved with a wine cork or a wall-mounted magnet on your workbench.

Pros:

• Doesn’t take up much room
• Budget-friendly
• Suitable for narrow cuts and detailing

Cons:

• No storage
