Gifts for Spoon Carvers

Spoon carving is as much about the knife as the wood — a sharp edge makes the whole project meditative rather than frustrating, and a sharp edge requires a strop and a routine. These gifts assume the carver already has their first knife and is building the kit around it: better steel, a hook knife for the bowl, a proper strop to maintain both. Skip the beginner kits; they already graduated.
