Abstract
A chisel scabbard (10) comprises a pouch (12) and a belt clip (22). An insert (14) is received in the mouth (16) of the pouch (12) and is adapted to receive various sizes of chisel. A flat front surface (64) is provided with abrasion material to permit sharpening of the chisel. Clips (50) enable two scabbards to be connected together. A sharpener (90) is provided comprising an abrasion plate (110) mounted in a slider (100). The chisel displaces the plate in the slider on insertion of the chisel in the scabbard. The slider can be actuated to repeat the sharpening stroke. The pouch (12) can comprise two extruded sections (92, 94) and end caps (96, 14′).
