I recently got 5 Wibeco chisels- the first I have ever seen for sale. They are all butt style tang chisels, and strangely, the 3 larger sizes have beech handles, while the smaller 2 have handles made from the harder birch. All of them have taken a beating from someone who was using them for doing real work, and without the benefit of knowing how to sharpen them properly. I’ll have to sharpen them up and see if they work better than they look!
Great find! I don’t see many of them kicking around.
