I got this set to help with finishing some of my wooden plaques i make and i have to say their not too bad. i did have to sharpen them as they were dull and very blunt out of box. not sure why they do that but what can ya do. it came with some stones that i guess you can use to sharpen the blades but what to use no clue they are not labled or shown instructions so novice wont knwo what to do and will make the blades worse more than likely. I used my own wet stones and they cut ok. I work in soft wood and this helps with clean up as well as adding some life to the plaque. All in all their not a bad starter kit. i wouldnt go out of my way to get them but to have on hand im happy with them.
