AE Berg chisels are no longer made. Treasure the ones you have for they made some of The Best paring chisels in the past several decades. The steel is good and holds an excellent edge. Unlike many modern production chisels, the blades are thin and are true paring types.

Decent length and good condition Bergs command high prices on eBay.

Over the years I collected these when I could. I don't like the handles which, in my case, were wood. So all I was concerned about was getting a decent blade. I then added my own handles. You may want to do the same.

These range from 1/8" through to 1 1/4".

The handles are about the same length as those on Japanese paring chisels. They end up feeling very light and balanced in the hand. The bevels are ground at 20 degrees for pushing.

>Those are Sharkolites. They were sold here in the U.S. Back in the day you could get them in hardware stores. They are my favorite chisel. Very light, short, great bench chisels. I have two sets of them. (gloat, gloat) Hold on to those, tune them up and enjoy. It doesn't get much better.
