Review: Schfee Chisel Set it’s great quality - I purchased these sets of schfee chisel and I was very impressed with the high quality of the wood handle off it and the quality of the stainless steel material. It’s Great set. Review: The bottom line is that these are very good quality chisels for the price. I've prepared and used the 1" chisel on cherry and pine. No sweat. Then today I pared about 3 feet of 3/8" box joints in padouk. No sweat. The edge held up very well - one slight hone required after doing more than half of them. Out of the box: * The handles are not very aesthetically pleasing, but they are functional. I found them comfortable to work with. I don't like the hard finish - I much prefer an oiled finish. I might be tempted to slightly flatten one of them enough to eliminate rolling, but I'm always a little worried that changes like that will change the comfort. * The grind is pretty rough, and definitely needs to be prep'd before using. I expected that, so I'm not dining the chisels for that. The only chisels that I know of that can be used for woodworking out of the box are from Lee Valley, and cost 5-7 times what the Schaaf chisels cost at full price. Even those need final prepping to work optimally. * The angle on the 1" chisel was 27.5 degrees. That is about perfect for me, as I like a 30 degree angle, and a secondary bevel gets me just about there. * The roll is not the best designed roll that I've ever used, but it is OK. I wouldn't use it without the chisel guards. Prepping the 1" chisel: * The back was very slightly concave. The only chisels I've ever bought that were perfectly flat were from Lee Valley and were considerably more expensive. Given that, if you can't get perfectly flat out of the box, slightly concave is the next best thing. * The machining was pretty rough - rough enough that without prepping, the edge would quickly chip and degrade. I would not use these chisels without prepping them. * I flattened the back by working through the following grits - 220, 1000, 4000, 8000 (all Norton stones) and 15000 (Shapton). It took me about 35 minutes, which is good for me. * Next I put on a preliminary secondary bevel (4000 grit) to see what kind of edge I would get. The bevel was 27.5 degrees, so the secondary was close to 30. This minor honing still left the edge with some minor but noticeable nicks. At that point I reground the bevel a bit (less than a minute) at 1000 grit, and that eliminated the nicks. I then honed a secondary bevel to 15000 grit. * I was able to grind the bevel and hone the secondary bevel by hand, and still end up with a perfectly square edge (as far as I could tell). * Finally, I relieved the edges along the back to make the chisel more comfortable for paring. Update on Prepping: * Today I prepped the other three chisels. All of them were either flat of slightly concave out of the box, so good flatness. * For the first time I used a Work Sharp WS3000 with a coarse grit to flatten the backs. Excellent results in a minute or two per chisel, as opposed to the 10-20 minutes I'm used to with a 220 waterstone. * I then worked through the other grits as described above for the 1" chisel. * As an experiment, I used the WS3000 again, this time with the leather strop wheel, to see if I could get a good polish without rounding the back. Worked great! The backs were as close to dead flat as my eyes can see, and no noticeable rounding at the edge. Comparison - bear in mind that these are subjective comparisons, but I've used all of the chisels mentioned to build stuff. * In general, I ding the Schaaf set for providing just a limited set of 4 chisels. In particular, I'd like to see 1/8", 3/8", and 5/8" chisels. I'd also like to see skew chisels, but lacking that, you could always grind your own from 1/2" chisels if you could buy them individually. * Box store chisels - Craftsman, DeWalt, Buck Bros, etc. I will only use these chisels for rough carpentry where the plastic handles allow for heavy-duty pounding even when the edge gets dull. * At first use, Schaaf chisels seem to be on a par with the old Record blue handle chisels, which were very serviceable for most woodworking tasks. If anything, they were a tad flatter out of the box. The advantage of the Record chisels is that the plastic handles on mine have taken a lot of abuse over the years. As far as I know, you can't buy these new anymore. * Since I'm not a fan of the new generation of blue handle chisels since another company bought the Record brand, I'd rate Schaaf above them. * Woodcraft green handled chisels - I haven't used my set for anything but rough woodworking, but in general they seem similar to the current generation of blue handle chisels. * They seem to be on a par with the new Stanley Sweetheart chisels. I like the feel of the Schaaf handles better. * They hold an edge better that the old octagonal handled Robert Sorby chisels, although nothing feels as good in your hand as that octagonal handle. * Lie Nielsen - Way more expensive, but they are better chisels. I particularly like them for fine, detailed work. They also come in smaller sizes, which I find very handy on occasion. * Lee Valley PMV-11 - Way more expensive, but in my mind the best you can buy. However, you can buy two sets of Schaaf chisels for the price of one PMV-11 chisel. PMV-11 is worth it if you are chopping dovetails all day and need to minimize your sharpening, but if you are an occasional woodworker like me, and are willing to put the work into properly preparing your chisels and keeping them sharp, the Schaaf chisels will do what you need. Bear in mind that you are not buying fully sharpened chisels when you buy this set. You are buying quality steel that will hold up well to demanding woodworking tasks once you have flattened and polished the backs and honed the edge, and you are getting very good value for the price. ## Features - Last a Lifetime – Schaaf Tools prides itself on using high-quality materials.

This means that these tools are ready to carve with out of the box. We recommend the sharpened sets for beginner carvers who don't have sharpening experience because: 1. Beginners can get started carving right away 2. When you're just starting out, sharpening curved gouges can be difficult. The pre-sharpened tools will give beginners a sharpening template to learn from. The factory sharpened sets are the same profiles and made from the same high quality material. These tools are factory ground and, like most sets, will need to be sharpened to the carving preferences of the carver before use. **Q: Do these tools work well for linocut stampmaking?** A: I think they are too big for that kind of work. **Q: Where are they manufactured** A: I checked the knives, bit did not see a country of origin stamp on the. My advice, however, is spend a few more dollars and buy some higher quality knives. The Schaaf blades were dull upon receipt and don’t hold a sharpness for very long. I’ll keep them, but will just have to sharpen them often.

Spent some time getting all the bevels to suit my use and they sharpened to a good cutting edge and cut very well. Not yet used in 'anger', but can't see any reason they won't do the job. Have also ordered the 'fishtail' gouges to go with them! ## Frequently Bought Together - Schaaf Wood Carving Tools Set of 7 | Chisel set with Canvas Case | Gouges and Carving Chisels Set for Beginners and Professionals | Razor Sharp CR-V 60 Steel Blades | Woodcarving Tools Set - Schaaf Wood Carving Tools Set of 12 Chisels with Canvas Case | Wood Chisels for Woodworking | Wood Working Tools and Accessories | Wood Carving Chisels | Razor Sharp CR-V 60 Steel Blades | Wood Chisel - Schaaf Wood Carving Tools Set of 4 | Chisel Set with Canvas Case | Fishtail Gouges to Reach into Spaces Other Chisels Can’t | Razor Sharp CR-V 60 Steel Blades | Wood Carving Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/268358200-schaaf-wood-carving-tools-7pc-expansion-chisel-set-with-canvas](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/268358200-schaaf-wood-carving-tools-7pc-expansion-chisel-set-with-canvas) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
