#1, #2, #5 knife handles, small plane, and a balsa stripper.
Added gripster knife, added razor saw blade, added additional blade paks.
That added small Xacto leather strop will really keep blades sharp.
I have another one of those coming from him, a rare X-Calibre retractable knife, and some rare #14 blades coming.
I'll take a picture of a spoke-shave tonight and post later.
If I may make one suggestion you should add to your set, get a #6 knife handle with a #2 blade.
The #6 is the heavy aluminum hexagonal handle knife. The #2 blade is the large version of the #11 pointed blade that fits the larger handles.
I use that knife almost as much as the #1.

I just received my set and it's contents are in much better condition than I had imagined! Lots of extra blades, everything wiped down and carefully shipped. I now see why you do business with this seller. One question. You suggested adding to my set a #6 knife handle with a #2 blade in the future. Personally do you think it's easier to grip than the #5 handle? A little more heavy duty? The set also came with a metal ruler that I didn't see in the pictures it was in the box tucked in there directly in front of the sanding block. Any other suggestions?
