Default marples carving chisels

Here's a left fielder for ya:

anybody ever see a set of Marples brand carving tools that had the blue polypro handles like the "Blue chip" bench chisels you see everywhere? The Grizzly catalog had them maybe 5 years back and then they sold the Marples with wood handles, and now their own imported version. Chris Pye shows a gouge with this type of handle in one of his books. It looks like a durable, comfy handle. I like the feel of my bench chisel handles, why not gouges?

I will try e-bay, I just wanted to see if anyone here can confirm this or if I am imagining it.

thanks, mike
