I know this problem, therefore I bought these Eschenbach clips, which are usually used by dentists etc.
They have to wear them the whole day - Eschenbach is more expensive, yes, but you recognize the quality difference latest after one hour
 
I bought the lenses at my optometrist, and paid to much.....online you can order them for appr. 50 Euro

Many Thanks for the interest in these two frigates
And maybe, after Gerard´s monograph is published and the coming planset review, I will start a small Poll.......in order to get some opinions.

Here some drawings for comparison:

BTW:
Last year I made a topic in the ship history and research area about the 48 gun 24 pdr frigate Égyptienne . A Forte-class originally started as a 74-gunner, but during construction she was reduced to the heavy frigate

French frigate Égyptienne (1799) - later fifth-rate frigate HMS Egyptienne (1801 - 1817) - Forte class

This is what wikipedia tells us about the ship: Égyptienne was a French frigate launched at Toulon in 1799. Her first service was in Napoleon's Egyptian campaign of 1801, in which the British captured her at Alexandria. She famously carried the Rosetta Stone to Woolwich, and then the Admiralty...

Very good german quality product - they will live longer than we all, if you use them with care -
sharpening is problematic - I bought a great set from a russian tool manufacturer - beautiful - but how to sharp them? this is the big question

"Victim from my tools" - I know this very well - but these are "investments" - and only cents per working hour - enjoy them
 
Hi Uwe,

I know the russian irons. The problem with the sharpening was a topic on the last AK-Stammtisch in Augsburg. Nobody knows how to handle it. Maybe its good to ask the manifacturer. He has his routine and know the tricks.
But i know a lot of people how carvs with simple tools from china or from the 1-Euro-Shop with incredible results. They told me that the secret is the sharpness, the sharpness, and the sharpness. ... and a little bit routine.... :-)
