We have loads of Marples chisels in our College workshop like the ones pictured below which we've had for many a moon. Several of the popular sizes are getting a bit short now from countless re-grinds.
I can't seem to find anywhere that sells these ones anymore, they all seem to be the octagonal-style ones.
Anyone know of a source for these chisels new?
I believe it is called a Carvers-style handle.
Sorby ones are similar but we can't afford the prices sadly.
Failing that, does anyone know of a source of chisel blades, minus the handles? That way we could probably re-use the boxwood handles we have currently and fix them on the new blades.
Cheers.
