How many countries are represented in your hand tool use? - Scott W - 11-21-2015
The qualifier....if it is of Chinese origin it has to be designed according to that countries style of use....in other words, Woodriver doesn't count.
I have USA, Canada, Germany, England, France and Japan. I am sure that is nothing compared to a lot of ya'll.

If I count the country of origin of the wood I used for some of my homemade tools, it'll add one or more countries from Africa, India, Philippines, Indonesia, and Mexico.

Guilty as charged! I've snagged several very nice tools lately on S&S, most within minutes of being posted.
Additionally, for response to the question by the OP, here's a rather rare bird:
The only tool I've ever seen from the British Zone of West Germany.

Dutch (and planes of Dutch inspiration), English (most of my tools), American (a few), Canada (I have a few Lee Valley things), and wherever the Aldi cheapo chisel sets are made (pretty darn good for the money).
