   BB,

   I have some of these:

   http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/DK6000

   However, the pack doesn't have enough of the same size, especially in the range of 1/8" - 3/4", wherein one may have quite a few chisels of various types.  And there's too many of the large size, which I ain't used. 

   Perhaps they are meant for carpenters rather than cabinetmakers?

   Lee Valley has chisel guards also. Click Here. Closer than England.

   Thanks for the pointer. After seeing them, I think I've had them before from somewhere else and they didn't fit well. If all else fails, I may give them a shot.RegardsBB

   Hi Boiler,

   Wine bottle corks on Mortice chisels. Just tap them carefully in the end before putting them away. I bet that you could do the same with smaller bench chisels.

   Regards,
   Paul

   You could probably cut a cork lengthwise and tap the 1 1/2 bench chisel into the rounded side. That would maybe work.Of course, the bonus is that the cork is free however there is the initial outlay for the bottle of wine :)Cheers,
   Paul

   Paul,I think I'll try a few and keep'em in the drawer but I'm thinking a little less bulky and ya know you just can't keep those champagne sized corks from pop'in off.ThanksJohn

   I found out the hard way that the LV ones don't fit LN type chisels -- too shallow.

   I had that experience with that style also. DIdn't order them from LV though. Those old Marples grey things that I have - circa 1984 really are good but I don't know where to get'em.
   Thanks for the reminder.BB
