Irish and Staff of<\/em> Woodcarving Illustrated<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>MSRP<br \/>\n$112.95 (Foundation Set, factory sharpened)<br \/>\n$51.95 (Detail Set)<br \/>\n$78.95 (Expansion Set)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schaaftools.com\/\"><i>Schaaftools.com<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Three years ago, the <i>WCI<\/i> team reviewed Schaaf\u2019s brand-new 12-piece foundation set with the hope that the manufacturer would expand its line of high-quality hand tools (see \u201cSharp Tools, Great Value,\u201d issue #87). Now, they have: in addition to the foundation set (which, according to CEO Eli Pearlman, hasn\u2019t changed), Schaaf offers a seven-piece expansion set complete with gouges, fishtails, and V-tools that complement the first set without any overlap. They\u2019ve also added a four-piece detail set consisting of strictly fishtail gouges for fine detail work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Renowned relief carver and author Lora S. Irish prefers Schaaf\u2019s tool sets for their tough steel, which she estimates to fall near 60 on the Rockwell Hardness Scale. This means that the tools not only sharpen well but hold an edge for long stretches of time. The steel also runs on the thicker side, letting the user \u201cwork the hardest of woods with a mallet without damaging the tool.\u201d (For softer woods, such as basswood and butternut, Lora re-bevels her tools from the standard 23\u00b0 to 15\u00b0.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Another notable feature of these sets is the size and shape of the handles. Lora, a carver with smaller hands, welcomes the tapered barrel design, as it offers a variety of grip options\u2014no matter your hand size.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For each of its three core sets, Schaaf offers both factory-ground and professionally sharpened options. If you go with the former, some basic sharpening will be necessary before you jump into carving. (For an easy step-by-step guide to sharpening all your hand tools, check out Lora\u2019s new booklet below.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cThese are excellent, long-tanged, long-handled, hard steel tools at an extremely reasonable price,\u201d Lora said. \u201cThey provide good value and a nice range of sizes and shapes that will last a lifetime of woodcarving.\u201d<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 744.625px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 394px;\">\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b>Further Reading<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><b><i>Sharpening Carving Tools for Beginners<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">by Lora S.
