They are longer than I expected, but that was a pleasant surprise. They worked well enough rot out of the box to chisel out the wood beneath a door latch to get a better fit. I got a wet sandpaper / glass sheet sharpening system from Peachtree Woodworking and spent an hour tonight polishing the backs and putting a finer edge on the whole set. They took an edge well. Very nice tools for the price and I appreciate the case and the plastic edge protectors.

2020 update: I had a project around the house yesterday where I needed to shave down 1/4" of end grain wood from a 3/4" board. After my polishing fun from 3+ years ago, these things were hella sharp and very easily controlled. I took nice curls off of the wood with much more control than I was expecting.
