Hey everyone, Ive had some Grizzly carving tools for quite some time now. Yes, its the same company that makes the grinders, saws etc. I got them on ebay for pretty cheap. It is a set of 12 or so for 40 dollars i think. They are full size tools for mallet and or hand use. When i received them and opened them up i thought i might have made a mistake for buying them. The case said they were hardened to Rc57-59 but said nothing about the steel itself so i was skeptical. I worked with them and was kind of impressed but i still dont trust them. Theyve seemed to hold their edges well and i dont think theyre stainless because ive found some rust spots on them. But i was wondering if ANYONE has had any experience and or opinions on these tools. Any replies to put this skeptism to sleep is very appreciated thanks...

I have purchased one set from Grizzley that would make really good trot line weights. They do (or did) have some individual tools that were not to bad. I believe the brand was Sorby's- Sheffield steel from England. I am not where I can check to see if my memory is still not working. Usual rule is you get what you pay for. I find this to be especially true with carving tools.

Good Luck, Don
