Last year, 2020, I received 2 Man Crates as gifts. The first was the carve a pipe and the second was skrimshaw a knife. The actual product of each kit were low quality. The pipe’s chamber and stem hole were drilled off center had a huge sand pit and burned through. Sandpits can happen with Briar. I emailed them and they sent me second briar block. Great service but bad product again. On the replacement the stem was glued onto place. This is awful pipe stems are never glued on. The holes were even wonkier than the first. Wrote them again and received no reply. A predrilled briar second cost about $15. These are obviously seconds. The stems are not vulcanite like another a $100+ pipe, they are plastic like on a Corncob pipe. A nice briarwood pipe is less than the cost of the kit. The knife kit was missing parts. The knife is a $20 to $30 knife, it arrived in rough shape. It is a name brand, Boker, who makes nice knives. But this one is on their lower end. For $150 you can get a very nice knife. The real issue with these are the prices. The tools are useable but low quality. The kits are so over priced it makes these items a rip off. If you want to get a pipe kit got to a pipe store, they sell much nicer briar blanks for less money and better tools can begotten at big box home stores for less. Knife making supply stores sell knife making kits for much much less as well.
