    Is No. 6 a Sorby, just looking at the way the socket joins the blade,there is no noticeable shoulder. It looks like that really old Rob. Sorby that belonged to my grandfather. And 8 is similar.

    I don't know why I didn't see this before.
    6,7,& 8 are left handed!
    Those Lie Neilsen style handles are the ones you bought that caused the controversy from the lady whose Dad died in the truck crash?
    No. 2 has original handle.

    6,7 & 8 are more like firmers in the angle of their bevelled edges, and so is no1 for that matter.
    2 I can see the quench mark.
    Cheers

    I wish I could give you a bigger picture but have never been able to get that to work.
    So we are stuck with the 100K limited one.
    Time for a clue.
    Who did Lie Nielsen use as the model for their chisels?

    Very good Mat.
    The handles are a help here - hint.
    So you are on track to solve the puzzle.

    Well yes.........
    But.........
    You are on the right track.
    Caliban got the first one that was odd, and you got the second one.
    No one has named the third, and we don't yet have the reason.

    1,7,8.
    Because.
    because of the handle shapes. All the others are that lie Neilson pattern or their copy of the original like No.2

    Good guessing Jim but FC has it.
    Apart from 1, 5and 7 all the others are Stanleys.
    The handles were a clue.
    1 is a Bluegrass made by Belknap Hardware Co
    5 is a Keen Kutter
    and 7 is a very old Thomas Witherby....

    and there are no chisels by Elle - more's the pity.

    Thanks everyone for playing and FC you are up.

    Happy New Year from Tele Point

    This will be interesting...
