One of my godchildren burned/carved a spoon in school - now they want to start woodcarving as a hobby. Does anyone have a recommendation on good-quality tools that I could gift to my godchild? I've googled but tbh I don't really know how to assess usefulness/quality.

Edit: I am so pleasantly surprised and so grateful for all the helpful and kind answers that I have received! You are all great and lovely people and you've made my day!!

Do you have any ideas for wood carving?

Beaver Craft carving tools are great for beginners. They make a full set and I use it all the time. For higher quality tools, Morakniv are a good option. Morakniv are my favorite knives to use. They are available on Amazon, Woodcraft or Rockler.

I have not yet decided but it will definitely be either Morakniv or Beaver... and thank you so much for your recommendation - it is so helpful to get advice from real people with expertise!
