One of the highlights of my trip to Tiki Oasis a few years back was to lay hands on your old walnut Maori panel (from the "Tiki Carving Methodology" thread) that is now in the hands of Hummuhummu. It's always nice to look at, but always better to feel a carving. But this piece looks like it will surpass that one, and you are in fine form these days my friend. Just curious - what is the offset for between the handle and the blade on the third chisel from the right? What does that do?

It looks like a chisel from a mortiser. They're used with a special drillbit to create square holes in wood. Very specialized tool.
