I own a wide variety of quality chisels and carving tools. Two Cherries are among the best. They come sharpened and polished. They stay sharper longer and touch up nicely with a strop.

Ich habe dieses Produkt gekauft, da es mir schön öfters empfohlen wurde. Ich arbeite viel mit Holz also wollte ich mir gutes Werkzeug anschaffen. Ich war sehr überrascht dass die stechbeitel noch besser verpackt waren als auf dem Produktfoto. Bei der innenseite zum aufklappen ist nämlich ein weicher schutz damit die Stechbeitel in der schachtel nicht hin und her wackeln. Zudem ist die Verarbeitung sehr hochwertig. Ich war ebenfalls sehr überrascht das die stechbeitel schon sehr gut geschärft waren. Ich kann das produkt definitiv weiterempfehlen, denn es ist sehr langlebig bei richtigem gebrauch und definitiv das Geld wert.

It’s amazing how many hours of our lives we now put into gathering every last minuscule bit of data before we make a tool purchase (or any other purchase for that matter - I’ll never get back the half-hour I spent comparing kitchen hand mixers…like there is any difference…not once has a guest ever stormed out of my house raging because the potatoes weren’t able to be whipped by the mixer. And everyone knows those are produced at a quality that is going to wear out or break within ten years, anyway regardless of the name on the badge).I’ve digressed…point is: we obsess about our purchases here in this century twenty-first. And we do this knowing full well whatever the item in question, we will eventually - most likely - outgrow it or tire of it, upgrade it or just decide to try something else simply to add to our never ending collection of tools…because, every person who is into tools knows the one with the most tools at the end of his or her life wins. Wins what, well, that’s anybody’s guess. I like to think Stanley and Bailey will be at the gates to greet me and give me a hearty handshake of congratulations. I’ll let you know.Out of respect for your data gathering process as you contemplate this purchase, I offer the following in the hope you will spend less time wrestling with your decision: these are great chisels.Are these the greatest chisels ever produced? Who knows. For every vote no there is a vote yes. Some want socket handles, some tang handles. Some hate the polishing Kirschen does, others are fans. Some say narrower bevel landings are most important in choosing a chisel, others don’t. For me, it comes down to this: these chisels cost me $20 each when bought as a set and for $20 each, I haven’t seen better chisels. They come with a well-made little box to store them as well, if that’s your thing.I took two out of the box to test and was able to easily shave arm hair without doing any honing. I was able to pare both little trimmings and large scallops from a board easily and the surface left behind was as smooth as if planed. No reason to think chopping won’t have similar results. Pretty impressive at this price point. I was expecting to have to flatten the backs some and pass them over Diamond stones and a strop to be able to shave hair and pare as fine shavings as I did right out of the box.The manufacturer of these has been making chisels forever and the steel is well-regarded. It is hardened more than most chisels so it will take some extra time to sharpen compared to, say, the cheapest-level Narex chisels (which are, in turn, great chisels for their very low price point as I’m sure you already know), so if that thought bugs you, these aren’t for you.If you want the best new chisels you can possibly find on the market right now, you probably shouldn’t be looking at chisels at this price point. These are excellent chisels for $20 each. If that’s your budget, these get my vote, and I don’t think you will be disappointed.

The first thing that I would like to clear up for those of you who read the few negative reviews and wonder about the quality of these chisels; they are very good and worth the price. I do not know what some were expecting, or thinking that they are Chinese junk. They have it wrong. Sure, it is possible to pay several times the price of this set and get a "presentation quality" case and highly polished, exotic wood handles, but the tool quality will not be any better.The case is very well built, and appears to be birch. Solid wood sides with box joints, along with quality plywood top and bottom, make for a sturdy and good looking container for your chisels. Nothing shoddy here. The chisel handles are made from hornbeam, a smaller tree that is also known as musclewood or ironwood because of its strength and density. It is not a particularly beautiful wood, but is the perfect choice for a tool handle. The handles are comfortable to the hand, and are finished to a smooth, semigloss surface. Again, perfect for a working tool. Now the best part: the steel. The high carbon steel alloy is treated to achieve a Rockwell hardness of 61. That is very hard! You will find that when you do the honing/polishing, (yes, expect to do this on all new chisels), that it is slow going due to that extreme hardness, but you then wind up with an edge that stays sharp for much longer than average, and will require only minor touch-ups after cutting a lot of hardwood.They are a joy to use, and will become a family heirloom. They really are that good.

I purchased this set of very high quality chisels, in July of 2012. I have used them on many "Heirloom Quality" custom wood projects- They have always performed top notch, on all species of wood, from Spanish Cedar, Black Walnut, Hickory (both select w/no knots, Knotty w/many knots)Red and White Oak, Pine of many types and 100 year old barn-wood. The Quality of the steel is the best for hard working edged tools- 61 Rockwell hardness.The "Horn-bound" Handles fit even my RA crippled hands with no problem as some tools do that skimp on size. I have 30+ years of Custom Woodworking to reflect upon, and since I started using Two Cherries for my hand tools- I spend much less time sharpening and more time creating the "Art" I love as do my clientele or I would not have the good "Word of mouth" that gives myself great satisfaction and folks wanting to have my input on design of the pieces that will be passed down from one generation to another. Knowing that the mark I will leave for future "Woodworking Artists" to admire "Old School" hands on timeless technique with Quality tools, made "Old School" way, hand forged by true Craftsmen is the main reason I use only Two Cherries for my edged hand tools- Amazon has the best price and selection, not to mention the wonderful shipping and easy returns. I would highly recommend this set of chisels for any woodworker who seeks the best in hand tools. As a note- use "DMT Diamond" Hones when the do require a touch-up on the business edge, I used to use Arkansas stones, but the diamond stones save much time (I use them on my Ka-Bar knives as well)- UPDATE, As of 1/20/2017 I have only needed to sharpen 2 of the set of these very fine chisels, and that was only a slight bit (a 1200 grit diamond hone, 6 strokes each) I had been cutting some mortises in "Knotty Hickory" - I can't say enough about the quality , BEST tools I own!!- Update as of 11/10/2017, my set of "Two Cherries" is still the BEST of all of my woodworking chisels, I also own several of their "chip carving knives"- I know some think that custom woodworking tools should be sharp out of the box, That is incorrect, it is up to each individual craftsman as to what final edge you like, I use a 30 degree "Micro-bevel" on my chisels (it's just my preference) it makes touching up the edge a bit easier- I stand behind the VERY HIGH QUALITY of "Two Cherries", the heat treatment and temper are perfect. I hope this helps someone who is looking for "Top Quality" woodworking tools
