The Joy of Wood with Greg Miller - Carving with Kirschen

Carving Tools

Woodcarving with Kirschen chisels and knives is such a pleasure, and so easy to do. In this video, Greg Miller quickly takes us through some beginner techniques that can make all the difference to simple pieces.
Two Cherries Tools are still largely made the same way in which they were made decades ago, still produced in the factory in Remscheid Germany since 1858! The finest steel is used throughout the product line, and skilled craftsmaen work with diligence to bring you a tool that you will be proud to own and love to work with. Take care of these tools, your children and grandchildren will thank you.
Carefully forged blades are skilfully treated in a salt immersion bath to achieve a Rockwell Hardness of 61Rc. The means that sharpening the chisels may take an extra few minutes, but they will hold an edge significantly longer than just about any other brand on the market. After heat treating, the blades are polished to a rich finish that makes them a joy to use. Fitting size-appropriate handles made from European Hardwood is the final step in producing these highest-quality German chisels.

Two-piece design feels more comfortable and balanced in the hand - the handle is produced from Ash and the head is durable hornbeam so will stand up to pounding chisel heads for years.
Available in three head diameters, small for more control and finer detail work right up to the massive 120mm diameter head for big knocks on large chisels.

def need to start doing this.... so the 6 and 4 mm V are good to start with?

Hello. Can this model of chisel 3239 be used without a mallet or hammer? I was thinking that the short chisels can be used only by hand (like palm chisels, without a hammer). Do you know what angle are they sharpened in the factory? I was looking for a V chisel, but one that can be used without a mallet/hammer, and the bevel made from the factory is suitable to this.
