Has anyone used these? I was looking at carving tools at Rockler yesterday. They had Flexicut, Crown and a brand that I had never heard of. The one that I had never heard of was droped from consideration as soon as I saw the work done on them with a soft buffing wheel. That just screams "cheap". The only edged tool I have owned from Crown was a marking knife and it's edge holding ability was right up there with a Chinese butter knife. I ended up with Flexicut (quality, no doubt) but were the Crown worth consideration? Was my marking knife an anomaly or representative of the brand? There is so much junk on the market in edged tools, it's almost a crap shoot trying to get something that does more than just look like cutting tool.
