flexcut! i love 'em! stinging sharp and forgiving, they used to come with a free plaster too!

 

if he is serious about carving they are well worth it - don't know what sort of size thing he would be after making but i got 175 or these for slightly smaller.

 

he will also need a mallet and wetstone probs. axminster won;t be the cheapest but you can work out what they might want from their website......

 

 

don't get some cheap ebay ones! they'll prob be blunt and just put him off!

 

my dad bought me one gouge chisel one christmas which combined with an axe and a mortice chisel was enough to get me well stuck in

 

 

also might consider just getting him a mora whittling knife instead as you can carve some amazing things with one of these and need little else in terms of vices etc.

 

or a carving jack from flexcut is also good fun

 

links are just so you can see what i'm on about rather than best places to buy.

I have a Mora 120, 60, a couple of spoon knives and some Marples gouges. I bought a cheap set of carving tools which were obviously Chinese and just a starter set and my wife claimed them for working on miniatures. What kind of carving does he want to do ?
