I have some old chisels with elegant original handles that appear to

of patternmakers' incannel gouges have no leather. A pocket chisel has
leather. I think the leather is meant to be struck (lightly) with a
mallet, which would not be done with the gouges.

Nice tools. Even tough they were made in Buffalo, they are very hard to find in
this area.
