A 12mm Wood Chisel With a Flamboyant Handle

I never thought the word 'flamboyant' would spring to mind with respect to a chisel handle, but it did in this case.

Here's part of the definition of 'flamboyant', from dictionary.com:

- - -

flam·boy·ant

[flam-boi-uhnt] adjective

1. strikingly bold or brilliant; showy: flamboyant colors.

2. conspicuously dashing and colorful: the flamboyant idol of international society.

3. florid; ornate; elaborately styled: flamboyant speeches.

- - -

Does that not suit?

Anyway, it's a fine chisel with a fine handle. The handle really fills one's hand comfortably and firmly. It needs a sharpening, then it will take a place of pride in my chisels drawer.
