Power Grip Carving Chisels Sets, Five Piece Set by MIKISYO (Japan Parallel Import)

Good design, very sharp and fit for purpose.

Very sharp out of the box, clever packaging. Very small which was what I wanted, but be aware of their size. Great quality Japanese product

I've had these tools for a while now and realise that I could have chosen a better range by buying them individually. The box is not the best quality but is useful in separating them so that they remain sharp. I have since purchased additional tools on printing websites where I've seen you can buy this box set more cheaply.

Got these as a first set of chisels to try carving and woodcut printing; they are really nice to hold and as other reviewers have said, super sharp straight out of the box.There's a good selection, no ultra fine one but I've managed to make a little pendant for my daughter and carve a simple stamp out of oak so I'm happy!

Chisels came with great, long lasting sharp edges. They enable me, despite being inexperienced, to achieve a reasonable result when carving bookends. They have proved easy to maintain too.

I work in mixed media and was looking to upgrade my Lino cutters and I found these were so much better than my old ones .They are sharp and cut well plus they are comfortable to hold .The plastic pouch is great and keeps them together and organised .So far only had a little play with them but I am impressed and feel that they are good value and will add to my arty kit .I don’t yet know how sturdy they are as I haven’t used them much .

The actual tools seem to be good quality but I’m not sure if there are different power grip sets that you can buy - check that out before buying as this one doesn’t have a great range. It’s got a wide U, a small U and a rather large V but no small v for fine details and outlining.Had to buy a separate tool for that as it’s the one I tend to use the most so for it to be missing here seems strange - I can only assume there’s another set of power grip tools with different gauges and I missed it.

I can only reiterate other comments. These are sharp chisels. They cut cleanly out of the box. It make a pleasant change from having to spent a hour or so sharpening and flatting chisel before they can be used. But they are a bit over hardened, so they will chip with moderate pressure. Having said that, they shave fine slithers really well and allowed me to finish a carving in very hard oak without recourse to sharpening. Good valve.
