Well the other ones I looked at were the Japanese ones! You should have a look at them then they are a little cheaper and can be bought in UK no need to import. I use to love my marples but when working with OAK the edges just dont last very long I have altered the angle to a much steeper angle which has improved the retention of the edge alot better. They last a very long time with Cedar though lol! JMB |

Though I've not participated this tread until now, I have been following it with interest nevertheless. I was looking for some chisels too! The japanese ones have been greatly appealing but knew that the hollow backs are definitely not for me and they come in pricey like some of the other manufactures mentioned here too. Too pricey as I was in the market for a set. Not a set of four, six or eight but for the "full monty" (as my final choice were advertised  ) A friend of mine had recommended Narex already about a year ago and while following this tread and chipping away (with) my three old Erik Anton Berg's the time had come and I ordered them. Many thanks for all people here participating, as always, very helpful narrowing down my thoughts to what I need, would like and can afford. Kind regards, Mauri  |

The Narex chisels are getting some interest here as well. At least you spent you money on another TTS company product! Just for fun:

I don't think the Narex chisels are the same company as the Narex power tools. i.e not owned by TTS. I could be wrong though, interested to find out.

  Careful with your chisels. Three stitches using a matsumura in some black walnut. Left forearm. Just healing now. |

Contractors The side bevels appear to go almost the entire thickness of the chisel. Is that the case or just the picture angle? |

Contractors The side bevels appear to go almost the entire thickness of the chisel. Is that the case or just the picture angle? its close u got about 2-3 mm left. Not really tried them out yet! I had a play with the 1 1/2 Hope they hold their edge! The 11/2 one already has a very small chip on its edge but not sure if it was me or it came like that. They came sharpened so I just hope thats how it was sharpened. So ill give them a spin for couple weeks and give some feedback! I got a job if I want it the client said to make a oak truss and do the roof. So ill take the job on to give the chisels a good test run! and my chain mortiser! JMB |

Earlier in this thread Narex chisels were mentioned. I had Christian check for me and there are 4 companies using the Narex name. Only the Narex that produces electric power tools is owned by TTS.

Trying to get jobs done just not enough time! And don't know why but me and my mate just last night been discussing and designing a orangey might be building one of them soon. I don't know where im going to find the time though! Need more hours. Yeah the chisels did chip they landed dead on the edge when they hit th ground really annoying. Not being hammering the chisels much so can't comment on how long they hold the edge yet. One thing though they ate designed to be hammered with a normal hammer like a estwing but it's horrible! Like wooden or plastic handle chisels when u hit them with a regular hammer it sounds okay. But you hit these H&S chisels it sounds horrible hitting metal with metal don't like it so I end up using a mallet anyway or something like that. Jmb |
