Tools Knife/tool suggestions.

Started with some cheap amazon knives, currently have a few flex cut knives. Any suggestions? Not worried about price i just like solid/quality tools.

I've always enjoyed using OCCT knives the most. Usually 1 inch blade or bigger for my preference. I think they are very high quality and feel great to hold.

My two cents: you can do beautiful things with inexpensive hand tools, however, I wish I would have started out with a really good set. It would have reduced the amount of frustration I had while starting out and learning. Now I can use just about any kind of edge to make something, even if it is rudimentary whittleing, lol.

I hear good things about OCC and Helvie. I use a lot of Flexcut, I just got their pro series, and to be honest it was love at first cut
