The set arrived in good time. The chisels are of reasonable quality for the price and were in good condition. There is a good range of shapes/sizes for general carving, although a set of smaller chisels would be needed as well for detailed/fine finishing. The case is attractive although it had been dropped and one corner was damaged.
As stated in a previous review, the chisels are only ground - not honed to a working edge. This is stated on the sleeve around the box; but should also be made clear in the description on Amazon. However, an hour's work with an oilstone got me a reasonable edge on the full set.
Suggestion to Amazon - why not offer a sharpening set comprising: double-sided oilstone (medium & fine grit), diamond whetstone (multi-shape to allow dressing of a range of chisels types), leather strop and ferrous oxide (crocus powder). This is the recommended sharpening set in the instructions that come with the chisels!
