    Remember seeing these at Garrett Wade in 2010,was disappointed when they sold out quickly.:( Checked again a couple months back - they have more in stock.

    So I splurged with some of that overtime I've been getting this month (as of yesterday afternoon I'll have 66hrs on my next paycheck,when I'm paid this Wednesday....:hair:)


    Looks pretty good,ordered 1 of each size for my axe collection.Swiss engineering is world renowned.My best "newer" cabinetmaking chisels & a couple drawknives/adzes are Swiss Made.

    Prices are reasonable too.Garrett Wade has good stuff,bought some of my first planes/chisels from them almost 30 years ago...:D
