This IceBear Woodcarving set is the only one I've used that has kept the sharp edges of its chisels ( as long as I've used stropping compound, as with all of my tools). These chisels are a pleasure to carve with.

Chisels
I bought this on Father’s Day because it reminded me of my son. He was always very thoughtful and would have gotten me something like this. I miss him so much. I haven’t used the tools but I like having them.

Very Comfortable in the Hand
These crazy little detail carvers have become my favorites. Useful profiles, good steel, and a comfortable, solid handle add up to a good set to complement any whittler's / carvers kit.
Excellent if you are thinking of making "wood block" prints or intaglio work.

Great price to try something new
Nice change from using smaller palm grip chisels with my arthritic hands. I wrap the handles in tape to get an even better grip

Excellent quality, especially for the price
I originally bought this set for an introductory printmaking class and have since relied on it for all of my woodcut plates. I had previously tried other, less expensive brands to save money (bad idea in my case). My Power Grip tools fit naturally with the hand, were ready to carve upon arrival, and have maintained their sharpness through a variety of types of wood. With that said, I suggest also purchasing a FlexCut Slip Strop for honing (it accommodates all the gouges and chisels included in this set).

The only things that are missing from this set and that I wish were included are the clear protective caps that go over each blade (so the blades can't bump into the inside of the case). I've seen many Power Grip sets like just like this one come with these caps and it'd be nice to have them since I carry my set around with me a lot at school. However, this isn't enough of an issue to affect my five-star rating. I recommend Power Grip carving tools to anyone/everyone.

The reviews some wrote were seemingly honest heartfelt words woodcarving for me is a sort of zen therapy like thing and these chisels will aid in my therapy so to speak. I am excited to receive them it should be like Christmas.
