They compare excellently to other brands. Got 5 paring chisels in the middle
of the Seventies and I'm still using them (frequently). Easy to sharpen,
handle is very strong and barely shows marks of hammer blows.
Purchased them in Holland and they seem to do fine without the metric system
here!! What they go for now - I have no idea since I haven't been back in
The Lowlands since 1996. Is there a website? Maybe via Google.

Apparently no website (anymore? not since they were taken over by Irwin).

Fine Woodworking Magazine did a review of bench chisels some time
back. Issue #139, Nov/Dec, 1999, I believe. IIRC, I think
Nooitgedagt chisels didn't fare too well in comparison with the rest,
but maybe they've improved their steel quality.

I also got the same set for $29.95 and am very happy with them
