help Sorby Woodcarving Chisel Set FAQ
Which carving profiles are included in a Robert Sorby chisel set?
The exact selection varies by set, but common Sorby collections combine a straight carving chisel with gouges and a V-parting tool. Check the product code because a six-piece beginner set and a specialist palm-tool set are not interchangeable assortments.
Where are Robert Sorby carving chisels made?
Robert Sorby manufactures woodworking tools in Sheffield, England, a city with a long steelmaking history. Its carving tools use hardened steel blades designed to be sharpened repeatedly.
Do Sorby carving chisels arrive ready to use?
Factory edges are generally ground and sharpened, but many carvers hone and strop a new tool before detailed work. A polished edge is especially important when carving end grain or soft woods that tear easily.
Can Sorby carving chisels be struck with a mallet?
Full-size carving chisels with substantial wooden handles can usually handle controlled use with a suitable carving mallet. Small palm tools and interchangeable-handle tools are primarily intended for hand pressure, so follow the instructions for the specific set.
