Condition Summary:

Some blades have surface oxidation, all wooden handles are solid and display honest workshop wear. All tools remain usable with light sharpening or are ideal for display in collections or vintage-inspired interiors.



Shipping Note:

Due to the weight of solid wood and steel tools this is quite expensive to post. However this is a huge lot of fantastic quality tools that would cost much more to post individually. The whole set will be carefully packed and shipped as a single tracked lot. International shipping available.
