    I have been carving wax for about 30 years and have accumulated
    and/or made quite a few tools, including my dentist's cast offs. I
    watched Kate demonstrating her tools a couple of years ago at the
    MJSA show in New York and immediately ordered a set. I couldn't be
    happier with them. I still use my some of my old carving tools but
    find myself using Kate's tools more and more. I have made some minor
    alterations to some of them. 

    I think that especially if you are starting out, that Kate's tools
    are a great investment and will pay for themselves many times over.
