Why is Chipping Away, noted for their quality carving tools and products, selling tools made in China? In our endeavor to serve all carvers from Beginner to Professional and from the budget minded to those that demand the best, we have chosen to add these Chinese tools to our product line-up.

The main problem in securing a line of hand carving tools was to find one that was suitable quality and we believe we have found just the tools. They are made by a 3rd generation family run enterprise that produces quality, traditional tools for China’s professional carvers.
Hand forged from high carbon tool steel and tempered to hold their edges.

This Detailing Set features thinner steel tempered to Rc 58-60, and are sharpened with low angles to slice through the wood with minimal effort. Some of the dog-leg or bottoming chisels are exclusive. All of the gouges and chisels are made in the ‘fishtail’ style which offer good control and maneuverability. The V-tools have negative or reverse rakes which carve in both end and cross grains with ease. The durable hardwood handles are mean for carving by pushing the tools by hand and not for mallet use. The set includes widths from 2 to 16mm and sweeps from #1 chisels through to #10.
