Beautiful tool, very sharp.
This is the finest chisel/slick I have ever seen. Extremely sharp, well made, beautifully finished. Compare one of these to the asian junk on the market and you'll never go back.

Beautiful tool!!!
I am a novice at timberframing. I have little to no experience with this sort of tool. I have been woodworking for 30+ years with a host of other tools of the trade. This is a truly beautiful and awesome looking tool. I have only used it for a couple of hours I love the way it works the wood and its balance and the way it feels in my hands.Again, I am a novice when it comes to it's intended use so I can not speak to it's technical merits. But I can say so far I love it.It is pricey, but my experience with most tools you get what you payed for. And after reading the few reviews, I figured I'd take a chance. I also was hoping that it might to easier and better to learn this new skill with a good quaility tool.

Monster unit , great price
Definitely recommend would purchase as we have many Sorby tools and Barr. This version is our 3 3/8 version. Buy with confidence, take care of it. Worth every penny.

They shortened a great tool--not an improvement.
This is certainly still a decent tool. But be warned--it is several inches shorter and a pound of steel lighter than the slick they supplied a few years ago. Mine was pilfered, and I had to order a new one. What a disappointment!

Good product, poor packaging
My husband likes the chisel and says it works fine. The packaging was terrible. I purchased two chisels and both were slightly damaged due to packaging. Box was too big and they were placed inside opposing each other with one piece of brown paper in the box. Neither chisel edge was protected so they both cut through their plastic packaging. One chisel edge was dinged up and one chisel gouged the handle of the other.

Thought it was a cricket bat
I love tools and this big boy is a beast. I have a couple of stumps I’m trying to make into figures and this big boy does the job. The box was long and heavy and I actually had forgotten that I had ordered this chisel. Once I took it out it look almost like cricket bat from England. The chisel is very heavily constructed. The iron on the chisel takes a nice edge and I’ve had no issues with it dulling quickly. I’ll be this chisel.
