  Re: Sculpture House Tools

  Having a few of their Larger Mallet tools, and having heard about their product over the years, I will give my humble opinion.  Sculptue House was at one time a respected American Carving tool but over the years steel quality has slipped a notch or two.  If you can get an older set, do.  The tools they currently sell are a decent tool for the price, but you do get what you pay for.  They are certainly usable, but need someone who really knows how to sharpen. They are a bit weighty.  I can not speak for their smaller tools so don't know about their detail ability. They do not match up with some of the more quality overseas product lines but are on a par with AMT chisels, which again, for the price, are okay.

  My personal advise is that if you can afford to buy better chisels, than look elsewhere but if you are on a budget looking for mallet tools that you can beat the heck out of, and you can sharpen, buy one or two and decide for yourself.
