    Default Wallins Sweden Chisels

    There is a set of chisels for sale on a local auction site. They looks superficially similar to Bergs, the handles are the same pattern. They're marked "WALLINS SWEEDEN" on the blades and have a crocodile logo on the handles.

    I've not found anything useful in my searches on what they're like to use, so if anyone has some, or knows anything about them, I'd be happy to hear from you.

    I've put a little bid in, in the meanwhile, because I doubt they'll be too awful, but I'm not too sure how high I should go if bidding gets busy later on...

    They must have made cutlery also, because you'll find a matching set of teaspoons for sale on the same site!

    Thanks, I did look there, and there is a mention of Wallins in the list, but I could find anything further on the page. I just kept going around in circles, and kept coming back to the same two or three pages no matter how hard I looked.

    I see that, I wonder if they'll hold an edge?

    Good question, maybe make some spoon bits with them.
    There are also plastic handled ones:

    You silly, the handles wouldn't be straight enough.

    Well, they ended up going for a bit more than I was willing to pay, so I'm none the wiser on what they're like. Maybe one day...

    Yes, those are the ones. If I hadn't had to put four new tyres on the car last week, I might have gone a bit higher.
