Review: Great beginner set for hand-joinery, if you can sharpen - I did a lot of research on chisels before I decided to choose these. I really liked the value for money that you get with these, especially at desertcart prices, but I kept getting put off by 'experts' that claimed they were no good. A lot of people recommended Narex instead, but a lot of those same people complained that the QC done by Narex was inconsistent at best. It didn't really look like you could pick a winner at this price range. I decided to pull the trigger on a set despite the negative remarks from some of the experts, and overall I'm really happy that I did. I'll preface this with the fact that I'm using these for fine joinery and that I have high expectations for end results. Initial impressions: Out of the box these are good looking chisels. There are plenty of machine marks on the steel, but overall everything looks clean and flat. The cutting edges out of the box leave something to be desired. Do not expect these to be honed when you get them. Don't even expect them to make good cuts out of the box. They are mediocre at best, and about as sharp as I can get them with 220 grit sandpaper. Honing impressions: these were dead-flat out of the box, which is seriously impressive for the price. Honing the back 3/4" or so on each to flat and smooth took no longer than about 15 minutes total. Sharpening impressions: These sharpen well, far better than I expected given the overall bad reputation that these have in the online woodworking communities. Using 400, 600, 1500, and finally 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper brings these up to 'pretty sharp'. I can pare end grain cleanly with them at this point. Adding 2 final polishing stages with green then red polishing compound impregnated on a piece of balsa gets them to 'absurdly sharp' to the point that I'm afraid of leaving them out on the benchtop. A mirror polish finish is definitely possible with these and a bit of effort. Edge retention: These chisels do their job really well through each project for me. I usually sharpen everything up at the end of a project so that they're ready for the next use. I haven't found a need to sharpen these mid-project just yet. Maybe a quick run on some polishing compound here and there for touch-up, but definitely no need to go back to the beginning. Handles: This is my biggest con for these chisels. The handles are fairly small in diameter and not very long. What this means is that my large hands have a hard time holding these for paring or body-weight chopping for an extended period. They're not socket chisels, so you're stuck with what they come with. The material of the handles is a durable plastic. I have no doubt they'll hold up to being driven by a wooden joiners mallet or a rubber hammer. Using these with a steel hammer is asking too much in my opinion, and you really shouldn't be doing that to your chisels anyways. Overall: I'm happy with them for a good set to get started in hand-cut joinery. For the price I don't think that you could find much better. My intention is now to slowly upgrade the most-used chisels from this set to some socket chisels, but those are running around $30/each. I don't imagine that I'll need to upgrade inside a year. I would suggest these for anyone interested in fine woodworking, but are working on a budget. I wouldn't suggest them for carpentry though, I've seen what those guys do to tools, they should stick to the through-tang Stanely's. The one key note that I would take impress is that no matter the brand you will need to hone and sharpen your chisels out of the box, these are no exception, but if you're willing to spend a bit of time and effort on them these can be fantastic chisels. Review: Bought as a gift after some good old research and reviews ending up picking a winner. - After doing some research into this set and reading reviews this 6 Piece Set of Woodworking Tools are what I landed on to buy. Being Made by Irwin they were of course of superior quality leaving nothing to desire in a product that will give you years of use if properly maintained. With sizes in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4 and 1 inche, this makes for the perfect starter set. Accompanying the 6 Wood Chisels were 6 appropriately sized sheaths for each blade and a nicely made wood case. After conduction my reseach this particular set was chosen for the following reasons: - Irwins reputation for quality of their tools. - Makes for the ideal "Starter Set" with the range of sizes. - Shape of the handles, which I learned was huge as they must be comfortable to use for long periods or be able to use a mallet on. - The quality and materials used being Solid Forged High Carbon Steel that has been hardened to 58-HRC for durability and blade retention. - Protective blade covers matched to each piece. - Warranty - Wood Case The recipient of this Chisel Set absolutely loved them immediately putting them to use. She has only had positive things to say about them. They have been used for long periods being comfortable while used as they kept their edge requiring little if no sharpening. She has used these on many projects both little and small with stunning results while being consistent with both her style and the finished piece. Being priced in the middle of the pack the balance of cost and quality is perfect. This is a 5 out of 5 Stars product that has nothing more to desire. I hit the nail on the head with this gift choice. I most definitely put this in my "HIGHLY RECOMMEND" Category. ## Features - Slim, contoured handle for added control, precision and comfort - Design for use with a wooden mallet or the palm of the hand - High-carbon steel blade hardened to 58-HRC for improved edge retention - Ideal for traditional fine woodworking applications - Set includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1" chisels, and wooden case ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000RG2Y56 | | Best Sellers Rank | #486,840 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #312 in Wood Chisels | | Blade Edge | Straight | | Blade Material | High Carbon Steel | | Brand | IRWIN | | Brand Name | IRWIN | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 508 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00024721096630 | | Handle Material | Wood | | Included Components | Unit^Instruction Guide | | Item Type Name | CHISEL WOODWK 6PC | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | IRWIN | | Manufacturer Part Number | M444SB6N | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Full Lifetime Guarantee - Each IRWIN hand tool is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life of the tool under normal wear and tear, except for damage caused by misuse or alteration. | | Model Number | M444SB6N | | Set Name | IRWIN Marples Chisel Set for Woodworking, 6-Piece (M444SB6N) | | Size | 6-Piece | | UPC | 735090395506 732454706305 024721096630 787388428847 689867216962 723434684386 784497162655 717927513840 UPC 735090395506 732454706305 024721096630 787388428847 689867216962 723434684386 784497162655 717927513840 See more | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Blade Edge:** Straight - **Blade Material:** High Carbon Steel - **Brand:** IRWIN - **Handle Material:** Wood - **Size:** 6-Piece ## Images ![Marples Chisel Set for Woodworking, 6-Piece (M444SB6N), Blue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61mWQS9nMXL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these made in England (as is shown on the chisels in the product picture)?** A: Here is the response I received after contacting Irwin. I hope the tools end up being better quality than the poorly made box they come in. SubjectAsk Irwin: Question Submitted Discussion Thread Response Via Email (Christina B.) 07/08/2014 01:09 PM EDTGood Afternoon!Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools. Our chisels started out in England, however, they are made in China now. The metal is the same quality due to our hardening process and we still have the same Irwin standards as always. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank You, Christina B.Irwin Consumer Brands Consumer Relations **Q: Once i chisel the hole in the wood, where do i put the chisels? back in the tool box or into the shed? where will they feel more comfortable?** A: Thank you for choosing Irwin Tools. Our goal is to provide our customers with the highest quality and service. For the Irwin M444SB6N Blue Chip Bevel Edge Woodworking Chisel Set we would suggest you put them back in the box. **Q: Your description says it has 6 chisels however the picture only shows 3 and a reviewer only received 3?** A: That is true. I only recieved 3 chisels. They are counting the oil, stone, and mount (sharpening kit) as 3 of the 6 parts. In a previous post, I listed the sizes I received and the sizes that weren't actually included. Hope this clears it up. **Q: what is the rockwell hardness of these chisels?** A: Without taking them to a lab, one would have to guess what the hardness is. I did however flatten the backs down and sharpen them with a tool grinder. The sparks coming off were compound which would indicate it isn't mild steel. The company claims RC 58 to RC 61 on the Rockwell C Scale, which is the traditional hardness range of English manufacturers for keen edge tools. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner set for hand-joinery, if you can sharpen *by R***E on January 7, 2016* I did a lot of research on chisels before I decided to choose these.

They need honing. Great for weekend woodwork. But, not what I'd purchase for a production shop. These require nylon or wood mallet. I've purchased other sizes in this series. ## Frequently Bought Together - IRWIN Marples Chisel Set for Woodworking, 6-Piece (M444SB6N), Blue - IRWIN Combination Square, 12”, 45-90 Degree Marking, Stainless Steel (1794469) - IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set, Wood Drill Bits, Made of Carbon Steel, Ideal for Fine Woodworking, Cabinet-making and more, 14 Pieces (1966893) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/904428-marples-chisel-set-for-woodworking-6-piece-m444sb6n-blue](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/904428-marples-chisel-set-for-woodworking-6-piece-m444sb6n-blue) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
