<< That said.........Can any more of you tell me of your experience with 
Ashley Iles carving tools.  One opinion I already received was that they were 
softer than other tools.  But thier rockwell numbers are still in the 58-61 range 
I believe.  So if any others out there care to comment........please do.

I have a number of Ashley Iles palm tools and find them to be just fine.  No 
softer or harder than many of my US palm tools.  And no problem with them 
holding an edge.   Rip
