Do the chisels come sharp?

Expect to hone them. Hand-forged edges usually arrive with a grinding burr and need work on a stone before carving.

What are the four chisels for?

Small detail work: carving letters, cleaning up relief, shaping figures and hollowing small spoons. They are not meant for heavy stock removal.

These are light carving chisels. Push them by hand for control; a mallet risks splitting the small handles.

Yes, if you are willing to learn sharpening. The small size is forgiving for detail work, but a dull edge frustrates beginners.

They are shorter and lighter, so they reach into tight curves and give finer control. Full-size chisels remove more wood per cut.

Wipe off dust and moisture after use, keep a light coat of oil on the steel, and strop the edge regularly to keep it keen.
