State University, Raleigh Lines: 13 I have a set of Marples "Blue Chip" bevel-edge chisels, and am quite satified. The chisels have a molded blue plastic handle (hence the name) in a squarish shape, which I find comfortable. The plastic holds up well to hammer blows, and is cheaper than wooden handles. A set of 5 from 1/4" to 1" generally costs about $30. The steel is good, although not connoisseur quality. -- Jon Mauney, mcnc!ncsu!mauney North Carolina State University (how much wood could a woodbutcher butcher, if a woodbutcher could butcher wood?)
