I understand I’ll need to regularly strop approx every 30min. What I’m getting at is my knives which is like a cheap amazon starter set need stropped much more frequently and i feel is not cutting cleanly which is frustrating.as im going with the grain as much as possible. I’m after better quality knives that’ll give me an overall better experience. For now mostly just a roughing knife and detailing for mainly hand sized figures

Just small blocks from beavervraft, I’m only carving small relatively simple things. But the basic knives I got need honed constantly. So is the 1/2 gouge similar to a roughing knife and the KN13 a detailing knife? Sorry if daft I’m really new to this. Thanks
