DGOL 8pcs Tungsten Steel Soft Limestone and SlateStone Alabaster Carving Kit Engraving Carve Cutting Blade Chisel Tool Set for Stone Seal Graver

I wish I had known about these when I was a kid and was head over heels into egyptian hieroglyphs. These strong but delicate chisels allow you to hand carve relief and fine details into soft stones like limestone. Absolutely life changing. I’m ordering a second set. The blades on these chisels hold their edge sharp and true as you shave away layers of stone or carefully use the corners to etch fine lines into the stone. While i do not believe these are designed to be used with a hammer, these are beautiful and quality tools for hand carving, and will be near and dear to my heart like my pencils are. This has opened up a whole new world of creative options. I’m simply ecstatic. Best $22 I’ve spent on new art supplies in 10 years. These will be a staple in my home art supplies from now on.

Attractive, sharp , useful. Very pleased.

Good Quality. Not for hard stone, blades chip on granite and balsalt stone. Fine for soap stone.

I bought these for a buddy who was looking for chisels for his stone carving business. Over the course of about six months, he wore them out (he did a lot of work!), and asked me to order more. We looked at other sets and he rejected them: He wanted this set again. I've now ordered him three sets, and he's built a business on them.

Tip snapped off first day of using. They look great, but the handle wrap seems to be primarily there to obscure the join between the tip and the shaft. That join is extremely shoddy welding that almost makes me think of soldering. I could probably snap the tip off at the join with my hands so don't imagine it can absorb any shock at all.

A great addition to my stone carving tools. I can use these for fine detailing and get into places that are difficult to carve. The leather around the tools tends to slip if you use them by pushing rather than striking but its not a big deal

Fantastic set of tools, used them on occasion

The steel is strong, but the leather fell off the handle pretty much immediately. It worked amazing for what I was using it for, which was plaster. It was straightforward to use and felt pretty good in my hand. If it didn't fall apart, I would have liked it better.

This product looks great and works well. The wrapping, which I had high hopes for, slides down and is difficult to pull back up. I ended up wrapping over the top with a stick to itself tape. The tip covers are great and the case is beautiful. I recommend but warn about the wraps. I wish they had used a better adhesive.
