Pros & Cons
Pros
These tools are very affordable and good quality for the price you pay. You have to do a bit of work to tune up the tools but that’s expected.

Very well made tools awesome quality steel
Flex cut win kel steel are not even close
The blades are only set by glue meaning they will eventually become lose with repeated use
Price
For the money these chisels are an amazing buy
Good value for the moneyhard to beat at the price
If you want it honed and super sharp pay the extra for the set that is listed as deluxe you are paying the extra for the time
If you are looking for quality at a fair price these are the ones

I contacted schaaf and sent some pictures of the defects and they promptly replaced them free of charge
They need sharpening when they arrive as is common with new gouges
Packaging/appearance
Quality is amazing tools are sharp packaging is lovely and the brand is solid
I just opened my package and am pleased
There was a card in the box from schaaf tools that said to send them an email and tell them what you thought
I was just disappointed that the box was all beat up
Competitiveness
My 34amateur34 sharpening was far superior to their 34professional34 version
I’ve owned a lot of wood chisels and these are by far superior
This set from schaaf includes 12 gouges and a tool roll for less than the cost of 3 34name brand34 gouges
Another company charges 5065 dollars per chisel for similar quality albeit they are ready to use out of the box
