Received the chisels in fine shape. Angles and contours ground as they should be. Reasonably sharp and could be used as received. I played with them a bit then stropped the tips to refine the edge. Nice feel in hand. I can’t personally attest to their ability to hold an edge but, based on extensive research, expect them to hold sharpness well. Looking forward to using for years to come.

I have not actually use them yet. I showed them to a friend who is an experienced carver and he was impressed. He could tell they were made of good metal but would refine the angle and bevel a bit on some.i left the tools with him t modify and resharpen. So l will start using them when de is done modifying. First impression is good. I like the tool storing.

Haven’t used them long enough to rate the durability but I don’t anticipate any issues. These are beautifully finished chisels and are akin to very expensive european professional chisels! The handles are faceted to prevent rolling and fit my hand perfectly. They came sharper than I expected and are useable out of the packing. I would buy again and wish that filler sets were offered in different configurations and sizes. I may change the sharpening bevel angle when regrinding is required to a shallower angle.

These arrive in a reasonable quality canvas roll which keeps everything organised and importantly the blades well separated. The finish is good and the blades are well set into the timber handles. There is enough timber in the handle length if you wanted to do some reshaping to customise for your hand, but the handles are comfortable enough. The blades do well from some further sharpening and honing and hold their edge well which indicates decent quality . Would recommend for anyone wanting a very reasonable priced good quality set with a good range of blade shapes.

What an excellent package for the beginning carver. Sharp right out of the package, a perfect variety of chisels, and a great price for the product. Am recommending it to everyone I know who is looking for a 'set'. The only thing I've done to them is just put a little more buffing into the sharpness. Have made no changes to the bevel. Hope they hold their edge, and time is the only thing that will tell me.
