For quite some time I have wanted to learn to carve. To this end, over the years I have gathered what I thought to be the best carving chisels made. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that I will never have the time to learn this wonderful skill. Since that is the way things have worked out, there is no sense in having these superb tools waste away under my bench. I have never used them nor have I attempted sharpening them. They are a full set of Cape Forge large chisels.
"These tools are a joy to use and will soon become your favorites. We custom make them to your specifications because we understand that everyone has different needs when it comes to their tools. You pick the blade style and width of the tool that you prefer. The basic shapes and sizes are listed below, but you are always welcome to deviate from the norm. The shaft length can vary from 2" to 12" depending on your needs; the average length is 4" to 5". We use our "E" or "E-1 handle for it is the most versatile . The edge geometry is designed for hand use, but may be used with a mallet."
"1/4" to 3/4"
& 7/8 to 1 18"
prices range from $74 and up" Cape Forge
This set of sixteen chisels are pristine in condition, never having been sharpened. Retail for them would be well over $1,200. I will let them go to someone who would use and appreciate them for $800 OBO.
