Small but precise, and very sharp out of the box
I read a review of this tool cautioning that it was smaller than expected, and I was prepared for that. When I received it I was still surprised at how small it was, and felt disappointed.However now that I've used it a few times I am happy with, and like the small size. It's very sharp right out of the box and makes a very nice cut. The fluted design works great and makes a perfect cut with no grain tearing. I've used it to part off a 3" - 3-1/2" turning with no problem. It works on end grain very well also, when establishing the rim of a box or box lid.

Nice tool
I needed a finer parting tool than what was in my tool box. This one fits the bill well. I am not certain how it will work on a large piece. On medium size turning (4in or smaller) works very well.

Okay for the money
This is a good chisel for the money. It was smaller than what I wanted, but for small wood pieces it works well.

works great for board to bowl turning.

Worked for almost a Minute
The tool seemed to cut reasonably well but within the first minute the too short tang broke through the ash handle. This should only be used for the lightest of duty like pens or bottle stoppers. It was sold through a third party so the return process was a bit more onerous than the usual Amazon protocol.

Perfect Little Cut-off tool
This is a very small tool used to part projects on a wood lathe. For my application it is just the right size.

Perfection........
I'm a wood turner and carver... I search the whole world over for the best tools available for both activities.I've used other brands and as usual, Sorby has provided just what I needed at a fairly good price. The quality of steel is at their usual best used.So, it's steel and wood... pretty simple stuff.... but how they make it, put it together to get the job done ....I'll keep coming back.I've recently talked to one of Sorby's marketing reps at a local Wood Crafters shop. Nicest guy to meet. If you could match a bunch of tools with a man's personality... easy to work with, both.... this guy and these tools would be perfect.
