Defries Gouges

[-JBergs-]

Hey just wanted to ask if anyone has ever heard of the Defries line of carving chisels/gouges... I've come across a few of them recently and couldn't find anything about them online...then I saw something about them being Italian but don't know if this is legit.

Are they good tools? Anyone know how long they've been around?

Thanks to all...

Sorry never heard of them myself. Hope you and everyone else on LI stays safe with hurricane Irene!

I've never heard of them. I even tried to Google it but nothing came up.

Hey Thanks Dave!

I never heard of them either and was wondering if they're any good as I had the opportunity to buy some... now that I'm up to about 50 carving chisels I'm trying to be a bit more selective in what I buy...

I'm really looking for more sculptor's type chisels; larger ones at least 25mm and up...

Yes! Can you believe this storm? I'm getting a little anxious thinking about it but most of me will be surprised if it turns out to be as bad as some are saying...

There are some on ebay but they are vintage.

JBergs: For large wood carving tools, take a look at the website for Magard Log Home Building Tools in Prince George, BC. Very well established, an astounding warehouse of stock to walk through and a good guy to deal with.

Never heard of them. as for the storm.......no one wants another New Orleans.
At least most people that can/could are leaving like they're being told to do.
