I think your set is the carbon steel set. The Windsor set discussed
here is High Speed Steel. In my Harbor Freight store they are kept up
at the counter in the glass case. So you might try asking there first
before looking all through the store. The Windsor 8 piece HSS set
with purple "rosewood" handles is $39.99. The same set with tan wood
handles is $29.99. Item number 47066 on the Harbor Freight website if
you want a picture of them before going to the store.

Bruce, the set I got from Harbor Freight (I walked in the store) was around
$10.00 (maybe on sale?) and had the following:

1/4", 1/2", and 3/4" gouge
1/2" and 1" skew
1/2" parting tool
1/2" round
1/2" spear point.

The spear point looks as you described he
1/2" Parting Tool
This tool is a little strange to me. I don't see it mentioned
in my books. The point is V shaped, and it's flat on top, and
the two edges are beveled. Most of my scrapers have a steeper
bevel. Still, the metal is 1/4" thick, and I can regrind it easily.
It's 5/8" wide.

The handles are 10" and the blades 4-1/2". They are labelled as the
Pittsburgh brand.

The problem with the parting tool is that the shaft of the blade is diamond
shaped. (so if you took a cross section of the blade you would see a
diamond:

/\
\/
front
___________
\
___________/
side

This makes sharpening more difficult on the grinder.

I know many people say get the Sorby or something higher quality, but it
isn't in my budget right now. Anyway, these tools are great to learn
sharpening on and I have been able to make some chesspieces with them so
far. The tools you have described seem similar to those I got, but maybe a
little more sturdy. Anyway, I'm out the door right now to HF and am going
to look around a little.
