Sorby #285 timber framing chisel

Sharp enough out of the box to trim finger nails! Excellent feel in hand. Now I will make a mallet to co-inside with this fine chisel in flattening, smoothing joinery.

I bought this just before attending a week-long timber framing camp. I used it extensively all week. It arrived scary sharp and ready to be put to work. It was half the price of the Barr chisels others were using, but no less capable. My only complaint is that the edges of the upper side of the chisel are also razor sharp, when they don't need to be. I found this out the hard way on day one, by cutting my fingers on the edge. It took only a few minutes with some sandpaper to ease these edges. But I feel this should have been done by the manufacturer. So I dropped by rating to four stars. So far, it has held up to vigorous use, with no sign of mushrooming or splitting of the handle. And the edge is still razor sharp. I would advise getting a tip protector or sheath, as it will never go back into the plastic sleeve it arrives in. It's so sharp it cuts right through it.
Okay, but could have been a little better

Good timber chisel, but the wood handle and finish take away one star.
They should have used a slightly larger diameter and a better hardwood.
Also an oil finish wood have been better than the lacquer finish.
Overall a good chisel but could use a little refinement.

Been banging on this for better part of two months, only had to sharpen initially then two additonal honing to keep the edge nice and sharp. Works great and a very sturdy tool
