Harris Tools - Bench Chisel
Made in the Czech Republic, these tools have cocobolo handles.
Dec 01, 1999
I had high hopes for this chisel sporting a cocobolo handle. The blade looks surprisingly like the Garrett Wade house brand, and in fact, both blades bear the marking, “Cr-Mn Steel.” An employee at Garrett Wade said he “believed both chisels are made at the same plant in Czechoslovakia.” The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of five chisels listed.

Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
Bahco 6-Inch Card Scraper
The size and thickness are what matter here. A consistent performer, this Bahco scraper is found in many shops we visit.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.
