This is probably one of the most difficult question.
What are the best woodcarving tools to get?
Does not matter if you just start a wood carving journey or carved for a while, good tools are a MUST! Avoid spending money on cheap carving tools. There are many tools available. Refrain from buying them just because they seem cheap. Wood carving can be relaxing and shouldn't be tough. Kick off your wood carving with quality tools.

Your tools are your tools—you bought them and they're yours. But that doesn't mean you should be afraid of them or abuse them. They will last longer if you take care of them, so here's some advice on how to do just that:
– If you're new and haven't carved before, the first step is to learn everything you can about your hand tools and how they work before using them! If something doesn't seem right, rewatch the woodcarving video lessons at my school of wood carving on tools and sharpening until you understand. This is really important when it comes to sharpening your gouges and chip carving knife — you could damage the blade or ruin its edge with anything other than the proper sharpening stone or machine. I talk a lot about sharpening in my video workshops.
How to use your tools safely?
– Be mindful of safety when working with wood carving tools such as chisels and gouges!
If you feel unsafe, wear safety gloves when working with woodworking tools! Most traditional woodcarvers don't use power tools; they just use them to prepare basswood or other carvable wood. Woodworkers often consider power tools when thinking of safety. Yet, hand tools are also risky.
I am a skilled woodcarver, and I understand this well. Just ask me how I know. When you start carving wood, you don't think much about it; you just pick up your knife and begin. Whittling is one type of wood carving; plenty others exist. High relief, low relief, round carving, etc. If you want to learn wood carving, check my lessons; I teach all types.
Best methods to store tools
Keep your tools clean! Woodcarving tools can rust. To stop rust, keep your tools dry. Don't store them in the garage if it's humid where you live. Also, use machine oil to stop rust. Occasionally wipe your chisels with an oily cloth. Your tools can last forever. (Some of mine are 300 years old)
