JFisher320. I will have to keep an eye open for that one. Nice purchase though well done.
I bought 8 last week, unfortunately they hade been polished which has un trued the base of them, but nothing I can't handle with the tormek Marples shamrock brand bevelled edge

As for the Kangaroo' you must be looking at them upside down.

;D

I have been on a buying spree of chisels too!

I was thinking about Japanese chisels, then I realised that our craftsmen in the past produced some fine work and they didn't have Japanese chisels. Not as far as I know at least!

I already have some Marples, 1950's chisels and I managed to find more vintage Marples. The steel in these is much better than today's stuff. I am now determined to get some long, paring chisels!
