    Default Early Xmas Present (Warning-Tool )

    A parcel was waiting for me yesterday, could I wait until Xmas.



    Attachment 124943



    Not likely, this set was ordered at the 2008 Melbourne Timber & Working with Wood Show, but I delayed the order by upgrading to the Ultimax Range set in February.




    Attachment 124944



    The set consisted of 6 chisels, a tool roll and a leather honing board.



    Attachment 124945



    Blades are laser etched.



    Attachment 124946



    Handles are fiddleback blackwood.



    Attachment 124948



    Worth the wait? What do you think?



    Attachment 124947

    I am going to love my new Harold & Saxon chisels

    They were delivered individually packed (bubble wrapped & boxed) with the cutting edges honed razor sharp out of the packaging.

    Wauw, what a beauties! They are too beautiful to use. Made in Australia, always good, sounds good

    Does anyone know how H&S produced his chisels? Forging or milling? Or both?

    They're missing that little ring at the top that lets you belt them with a hammer though

    From Trent's info flyer included with the set.
    The blades are cut, milled and ground from Billet Tool Steel....they are milled in their softened state from billets and then completely machined, then the heat treatment process is added.
    This set is from the Ultimax Range which is Cryo treated and double tempered.

    Very nice Kev,and in the meantime a lot of us wait with intrinsic patience on Trents pleasure and time to grace our own presence with a set ordered.

    May you have many happy hrs of blissful use out of your chisels!

    Cheers

    John, the process of unwrapping and actually handling your own set for the very first time makes you forget the wait.

    I'm not sure how to explain it but it is a wow experience to actually touch and hold them.

    Be patient, your set will also be worth it.
