BeaverCraft Small Notching Knife C6 User Manual:
Before use, make sure the knife is sharp and clean. Only use the knife for wood carving and make sure the wood you are working on is securely clamped. Hold the knife firmly and always cut away from your body. Clean the knife after use and store it in a dry place.

How to choose the right notching knife:
The choice of carving knife depends largely on the object being carved, the skill level of the user, and the desired level of precision. A carving knife is especially used for decorative carvings, such as "chip carving", which is the carving of geometric shapes, letters, or symbols into soft to medium-hard wood.
1. Blade length and shape: For detailed work, a short blade (20-30 mm) is best, providing maximum control and allowing for precise cuts without excessive movement. A narrow-pointed or triangular blade shape facilitates sharp-angle cuts, which are especially needed for cutting triangular shapes and grooves. A longer, wider blade can be used for larger carvings or deeper cuts.
2. Handle ergonomics and length: The shape of the handle is crucial for long-term use. A good serrated knife fits firmly but comfortably in the hand and reduces hand strain. The material of the handle also matters: natural wood, such as ash or beech, offers a breathable, firm grip and is comfortable even when working without gloves.
3. Blade material and hardness: Notching knives are commonly made of carbon steel or stainless steel. Carbon steel (e.g. HRC 58) is an excellent choice because it is easy to sharpen and retains its sharpness well, which is essential for precision work. Stainless steel, on the other hand, requires less maintenance, but can be slower to sharpen.
4. Precision of purpose: If the focus of the carving is on decoration, such as nameplates or artwork, it is worth choosing a knife with a short and very sharp blade. If you are making functional cuts (for example, making joint grooves), a slightly stronger and more durable blade model may be a better choice.
5. Left-handedness/right-handedness: Most notching knives are symmetrical and suitable for ambidextrous use, but if the knife is beveled on one side, you should make sure it fits the user's hand. This is especially important for precise guiding work.
6. Maintainability and accessories: A good notching knife is easy to keep sharp. You should also consider compatibility with sharpening tools, cases, or other wood carving accessories. The case that comes with the knife can be a significant addition in terms of safety and durability.
In summary, choosing the right carving knife requires a balance between precision, comfort, and safety. The user's experience and the object being worked on will determine the final choice, but a quality, well-designed carving knife will make carving both efficient and enjoyable.
