Very happy with this set; Lot

Pleasantly surprised by this tool kit. I have used them for carving spoons and shaping wood for a variety of reasons and they have worked extremely well. They are much cheaper than the more expensive well-known brands and I think the quality is very good. Mine were in great shape straight out of the box and became terribly sharp after further sharpening with a diamond plate and belt. Now they cut through pine like butter and I've had no problem using them on harder woods like walnut. They don't

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Confuse

Not only did they not come out sharp, but the bit angles aren't as advertised or consistent.

I find sharpening extremely therapeutic when a blade or chisel becomes dull after use, and it's rewarding when you can join white oak like butter after removing the last drill bit to have. (Advertised as, "Don't buy if you don't sharpen your tools.") The one thing I hate about sharpening is sharpening at the right angle to hardened steel. These bits are so inconsistent when it comes to corners. Most of the nicks were formed at an angle greater than 35 degrees and were not even remotely sharp…

Pros
  • I have my fingers crossed
Cons
  • Not as thick as others

Not all sanded correctly

Finally got around to getting them out. They need sharpening, but that's to be expected. Four notches were not ground properly. One rib was crooked, the other had a difference in length between the sides of the rib and the center of the rib of more than 1/16. The other two were sharpened obliquely and in waves. The metal appears to be good, but the lack of quality control in the grinding and shaping of the edges is a concern. If you don't have access to a slow speed grinder or a good selection…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No mold required

Real professional wood carving tools without expensive price.

I have carefully inspected every tool I have purchased, checking the degree of sharpening and re-sharpening when necessary (not much). I ground and polished the bevels to razor sharpness and made a few test cuts with each of them. These Schaaf are a high-quality woodcarving chisel set. I dare say that my Swiss productions have the few English or Japanese blues that I have. I don't see any flaws in the quality of the steel, it's well hardened and polished. Wooden handles, octagonal, machined…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Safety

Excellent tools and service

Five stars because the value of these tools is absolutely worth it. I had a problem with the order, but Schaaf Tools solves it very quickly. However, excellent customer service is necessary but not sufficient to make you choose these tools. Below I will explain why they are a good choice. The instruments themselves are great. Of course, like any quality tool (with the possible exception of arrow tools), they must be sharpened and honed to the carver's wishes. I've lined up a few to see how they

Pros
  • Top marks for support and longevity from testers
Cons
  • Insanely slow

Is "good enough " enough for you?

It is very difficult to assess the quality of an average product. I want to be honest and say that 1) my experience can be unique as most of the reviews are very positive AND 2) absolute beginners probably won't notice any problems whereas professionals know how to solve problems themselves and should probably have a grinder too deal with. I didn't fit into those groups so I had some issues with the instruments which otherwise seemed great. Let me start with the good. Excellent quality steel…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Something is wrong

High-quality carving chisels at an affordable price

These are great chisels and mirror the Pfeil chisels which sell for $429.99. You can see the arrow set on the Woodcraft website, it's called the Brienz Collection, a full size 12 piece set that is purchased individually for $495.98. Now it's not arrow, but they're as close as you can imagine. I'll look out for other Schaaf tools, if that's the quality you want at a great price then I'll want them. Each chisel is just what you need to get started. This is as good as it gets and most carving…

I'm a good quality set.

I wanted a good set but didn't want to spend more than 400 euros. This set arrived today. What a treat. wrapped in a heavy duty double lined tool roll. In this way, the chisels are not accidentally pierced during sharpening. Each remedy is wrapped in polyethylene and the tips are dipped. It smells dry so the manufacturer/dealer took good care of it. There were 12 chisels in the set. Each is about 10 inches long and the handles are about 6 inches long. Metal - forged steel. Slightly light but…

Pros
  • Adult beginner wood carving kit. This basic set of woodcarving chisels is perfect for woodcarvers of all skill levels. We love it for beginners because the wide range of handpicked profiles will get you started on a variety of projects. These are the perfect learning tools.
Cons
  • Long delivery time
