Has anyone seen this stamping on chisels before
It was made in England and came with a few chisels I bought that need alot of TLC and noticed this logo on one of them but can't find it through google only part of it is showing as the rest has been worn off and the manufacturers name is well worn too. Also dies anyone on here make replacement handles or know where I can source some as all three chisels need new handles. Also I take it that the two on the right are registered firmer chisels and the one on the left is a pairing chisel as it looks alot thinner than the bevelled edge chisels that I currently have and I am only used to seeing the modern bevel edge ones.

Hi,
As all the old UK made chisels are good steel they will be worth the effort to restore. As to handles they can be made without a lathe and any shape you like. In fact some prefer non round handles as they dont roll off the bench. Plenty of youtube stuff on the subject out there. Having a lathe does make life easier however or finding someone near you who has a lathe. Save the old ferrules to go on the new handles. Most of my chisels came from the rust hunt and quite a few were in a far worse state to start with.
Regards
John

I agree about the old English made chisels being good quality which is why I am trying to go for them to get the sizes in between the ones available at the shop but also to get away from using bevel edge chisels for chopping, these chisels cost me $10.50 plus I have got some hale bros chisels coming to me which consist of what appears to be two mortise chisels a gouge and another bevel edge chisel plus an old 1-1/4 inch marples which I got for $6.50. I do have a wood lathe that was given to me and I am trying to make some room in the garage to put it so I can go and pick it up from my step father. as it is that big chisel in the picture got some time on sandpaper to get all the chips out of the cutting edge and to get rid of the hideously sharp angle it was ground to (hollow ground I must add) and it has only seen the coarse side of the oil stone and it is bloody sharp and makes pairing cuts with alot of ease almost too scared to put it over the fine side of the stone lol.

In addition to old British chisels keep an eye out for A E Berg from Sweden. Trade mark is a shark. Later became Sandvik and Bacho. Titan made in Australia is also worthwhile. Both of these are becoming sought after so not as cheap as they used to be. Old Dutch and German brands will be OK too.

Funny you mentioned Titan I saw one of those on Trade me which is our local Auction site but it was a 1 inch which is the same size as the big chisel in this thread, the paring chisel now has a new handle which I turned today and shared in the general wood turning section. I always wondered what happened to Sandvik as they made good stuff but now that I know that they are now Bahco and I have a few of their hand saws (tenon, dovetail, rip and cross cut) and I have seen AE berg chisels being sold on trade me as well.

got to this abit late... They are a nice chisel and take a good edge. bit harder to see the picture on mine due to the stamping but I could pick the maker by the text.
I have a new (un-used) old stock set, one still has the price tag.
Cheers

Looks like they made sheep shears so would explain the logo.
