Pros: Looks very nice, Painted very attractive, Cons: I have been a carpenter all of my life, 45 years to be exact and one of my hobbies is knife making. After I received this and saw how rough the blade was I sharpened it and polished the edge to a mirror finish, Shaved the hair off of my arm, I was thinking now this baby will shave my axe handle like butter. I did everything possible and could not get this to shave my axe handle, It is hickory so maybe the wood was to hard for this tool to cut on it. After trying everything I could think of and others I just tried hoping would change something, I finally gave up and laid it aside. I will finish my axe project with my small block plane, Files and sand paper.

I just opened this spokeshave and talk about crap. OMG the paint is globbed on all over this thing. The 2 iron adjusters are so stiff that it was almost like they were cross treated. The iron has dings in the edge so bad that I will have to spend a day alone on just it to put a new edge on it. But I guess when you pay a cheap price you get cheap stuff. I won't ever buy anything from these people again. When I get burned once that's it.

Absolutely substandard item. Base was not flat, had dips, was painted over. Screws on which the depth adjuster rests were not parallel. Was full of dirt, etc. on the blade and opening - probably dirt stuck to oil for resisting rust, still too much dirt. Clear example of "what you get is what you pay for". Avoid at all cost.

Well designed and made with good steel, blade is razor sharp and easy to adjust.

I 100% was not expecting when ordering this given that it was only 7 or 8$. I But i will say after receiving it and not even sharpening it, it does better than i expected.
