Wow an 8 piece set for $30

Are they really any good?

I'd think they'd be fine for learning good sharpening/honing technique. Do
you really want to screw up a set of Sorbys or Taylors during the early part
of the learning curve?

I bought a set of Robert Sorby tools when I bought my lathe. Then I bought
some cheap tools, afraid I'd ruin the Sorbys until my sharpening abilities
improve. Good, cheap investment, it would seem.
