Just cut a bunch of half blind dovetails in cherry with these. They were easy to sharpen (backs were nice and flat) and stayed sharp. Wood handles are a little square so they don't roll away and they really took a beating. They're also comfortable to hold. Blades are thin enough to fit into the corners of the dovetails. I first ordered the set but had to switch to getting them one at a time when the set was out of stock. Would somebody please ask them to make one in 1/8 inch?

These Footprint chisels were highly rated recently by Fine Woodworking Magazine. In their tests the Footprint beech handle chisels held their edge better than Lie-Nielsen! That's hard for me to believe, but that was their test result. I bought a set. They really are excellent! Excellent steel that was easily honed sharp enough to shave with. And they appeal to woodworkers because the handles are beech, not plastic. They are round with a flat area on top and bottom. This prevents them from rolling off the bench. Finally, you get a set of four for under $50! Very happy with my purchase!

Made very well, I used them to cut dovetails in curly maple with no problems. They held their edge well. Also these are made in England not in China like the Irwin Marples.
