    I would call them ‘orphaned’ chisels. “I will loan you a sharp orphan”. This instills in the borrower the parental responsibility needed for something no longer part of a set or family but still with individual merit.
    Calling them “carpenters chisels” is insulting to the chisels.

    Maybe also to carpenters?

    A good friend is a carpenter, he has yet to sharpen a chipped or blunt chisel, he just buys another one. The new ones are never really sharp when you buy them. He would not be insulted just laugh! but some might🤨.
    I have offered to sharpen a bunch for him if he brings them next time he comes for dinner.
