Butt Chisels
I recently bought a set of these because I thought it was a good idea https://mcjing.com.au/categorybrowse...ategoryid=1569
I must say I am very impressed, the backs flattened very easily and all of them were sharp in under an hour. I have yet to really use them in anger but for the price I don't think I will be too disappointed. They are supposed to be the same chisels with another name as the Woodriver set and they certainly look the same. The handles are a nice size for my small hands so they may get a bit lost in a bigger hand is all I can think may be a problem. Recommended.CHRIS

I wonder how they compare with my Pfeil set?

I doubt that there is a hard answer to that Pat.

Chris,
I am sure they will do a good enough job cutting wood so you are one hundred plus dollars up than if you had bought the Pfeil set.

Royflatemate came to my place today to have a chat and brought his identical set of Woodriver chisels with him, we both agreed they are absolutely identical apart from the brand.

I don't think we are supposed to link to other forums, but I found this on the UKworkshop forum
"Some googling reveals they are or have been sold under the following brand names:
- Quangsheng (Workshop Heaven)
- Qiangsheng (Rutlands)
- Grant (Tilgear)
- Woodriver (Woodcraft USA)
- Juuma (Dieter Schmid)
- Dictum Eigenmerk (just "Dick" now , I think)
- Peaktool (Baptist, Holland)
"
the company's website is Cixi City Qiangsheng Tools Co.,Ltdregards from Alberta, Canada
