This is a good chisel for the money. It was smaller than what I wanted, but for small wood pieces it works well.

Very nice parting tool. I needed a very thin tool to do segmented parting and this tool does a great job. I did have to round over the sharp edges so it wouldn't bind up, but it does a great job!

works great for board to bowl turning.

The tool seemed to cut reasonably well but within the first minute the too short tang broke through the ash handle. This should only be used for the lightest of duty like pens or bottle stoppers. It was sold through a third party so the return process was a bit more onerous than the usual Amazon protocol.

I read a review of this tool cautioning that it was smaller than expected, and I was prepared for that. When I received it I was still surprised at how small it was, and felt disappointed.However now that I've used it a few times I am happy with, and like the small size. It's very sharp right out of the box and makes a very nice cut. The fluted design works great and makes a perfect cut with no grain tearing. I've used it to part off a 3" - 3-1/2" turning with no problem. It works on end grain very well also, when establishing the rim of a box or box lid.

This tool is perfect for those small areas to be parted and super easy to use. Left a very clean cut in hard to reach areas.

I'm a wood turner and carver... I search the whole world over for the best tools available for both activities.I've used other brands and as usual, Sorby has provided just what I needed at a fairly good price. The quality of steel is at their usual best used.So, it's steel and wood... pretty simple stuff.... but how they make it, put it together to get the job done ....I'll keep coming back.I've recently talked to one of Sorby's marketing reps at a local Wood Crafters shop. Nicest guy to meet. If you could match a bunch of tools with a man's personality... easy to work with, both.... this guy and these tools would be perfect.
