Johnny it's a bit of both feel and cutting ability. A couple
years ago I bought a set of really cheap carving tools...and
the result was the handles fell off and the tips broke...or
they were just plain crappy chisels. So I gave up and went to
the basic B&D chisels...good tools but not very versatile for
carving tikis. The flexcut chisels feel good with the
interchangeable mallet/palm handles...but the variety of cut-style
is the best part. I don't know much about other brands but
Flextool seems to be a fairly high quality product. I ordered
mine from two different on-line sources...one was selling for
suggested retail and the other for about 10 per cent off.
