I recently won an auction lot which included this beautiful set of 12 Robert Sorby Micro Carving Chisels in a nice wooden box. I already have a small set of 6 Henry Taylor palm chisels which don’t get much use as it is, so I’m selling this set as it wouldn’t get the use they deserve. I bought them used, but based on the perfect condition of the edges they have barely been used, if at all, so are more or less brand new (see photos below)! There was the odd minor rust spot from being stored and un-used for a while before me, but I’ve cleaned them up.

The cheapest i can find them anywhere is Classic Hand Tools for £279.19, so as they are pretty much un-used I would like £165 including postage. (Or collection near Cross Hands in South Wales )

Here’s some more info from the net...

These Robert Sorby Micro Carving Tools are comfortable palm carving tools and are ideal for the fine detail and miniature carving. Manufactured to the same exacting standards as the full size Carving Tools, they have precision closed-die forgings to ensure accurate shape and size of every blade. Their highly polished blades protect against rusting with cutting edges honed and buffed ready for immediate use. The handle size means that these micro tools are comfortable for prolonged use.

Overall length - 6 1/2"

Available in a set of 12 in a polished wooden case which stores the tools "topped & tailed" for carrying. The case can also act as a free standing cabinet when in use. The brass slots on the tools allow for these to be suspended with great accessibility.

Sorby Carving Tools have been voted 4 out of 5 for Value for Money and 4.5 out of 5 for Performance in September 2008 edition of "The Woodworker & Woodturner" magazine.


Anyway, any question send me a PM. Here are some photos...
