Pumpkin Carving Kit (21 Tool Set) w 11 Double Sided Pieces - Halloween Professional Sculpting, Cutting and Carving Knife Supplies for Fall Jack-O-Lanterns, Pumpkins, Decorations for Kids and Adults

These tools are great! There are 11 double sided tools so this is a great bang for your buck.I've read some reviews about the tools breaking. They aren't meant to carve into the pumpkin. They work great with the stencils I have. The plastic tools you get at Halloween just don't get you enough of the detail or texture that these tools can give you for your design. I can really get into my more serious stencils.I've even thought about being able to use this for the summer. I love doing watermelon infused drinks and now I can stencils in some beautiful art for my centerpiece. So excited to start creating and carving.

I have an annual pumpkin-carving gathering with about a dozen people in my family. We're a creative bunch so these tools were a big hit and enabled everyone to try some new carving techniques this year. The results were awesome! One of the tools broke, but the rest made it through an afternoon of rigorous use in tact. Very clever repackaging pottery tools for pumpkin carving and the price was very reasonable. Good investment.

This was my first foray into carving a pumpkin more elaborately than in the old days with a butcher knife. I watched a lot of videos and tried to research tools that would be helpful.This kit has an abundance of tools. Not surprisingly I used a handful of them for almost everything, and some I never touched. But the ones I used helped me do some really nice carving (if I do say so myself!). I liked that it wasn’t super expensive, although the result is that the tools are fairly cheap. But more than that they weren’t remotely sharp (which I can understand since kids are likely to be using them). The x-acto type knife bent before it cut through the skin of the pumpkin. Carving with dull tools is very fatiguing.In the end I’m happy with this kit, it was what I needed for a small investment. If I carve something next year I may invest in just a few higher quality tools.

To start off these are technically pottery tools, which I actually knew and thought it was a good idea for pumpkin carving as well. They came faster than expected which was really nice, but didn’t work as expected. Tried them on some mini pumpkins to add detail and it was not easy to use on the skin of the pumpkin. Wouldn’t break through the skin very easily, which resulted in the tool breaking. The tool would pull out of the handle. Overall it’s still a really cool thing, maybe I just didn’t use them right. Definitely better used on clay though

I had purchased these to give to the neices/nephew for their various craft projects but decided to keep them for myself. I have small hands and the barrel size was just right. I have found other uses for these tools other than "pumpkin carving", from the kitchen to my many of my own crafting projects. Don't limit yourself with titles of what things are "supposed" to do, use your imagination and your creativity will expand and all of your tools available will do more than one job or even not the job that was intended for them.

These tools are great for their price. They're not meant for hard use and are more delicate than the kind of tools that come in pumpkin carving kits. They are meant to be used to add detail. Each tool is different and can be used for a variety of projects.

The set looks nice but some of the blades came out of their handles while I was carving a pumpkin and it wasn't just one tool that did this. This isn't a carving kit made to be used very much, it's more like the one time use set you can get with pumpkin masters but prettier with the wooden handles. Save your money and just get a pumpkin master carving set or just use a kitchen knife becuase these are cheaply made.

Worked great for pumpkin carving.
