I too use the old Sheffield-made Marples for most things. They were not finished well when bought but they do sharpen nicely. I have a 1/4"-1 1/4" set, as well as some narrower German made chisels. I can always use more.
My rasps and files are almost all hand-me-downs from my dad. He got a lot of his stuff from his grand-dad. They are mainly 1910s-40s tools.
Most of my stuff is chosen with a lutherie focus, so it has to be suitable for both hard and soft woods, since they are often joined together then shaped afterward.
I use scrapers for removing tool marks a lot.
The Mora knife I use is this one, but I cannot vouch for the vendor:

Mine still has a $9.99 price tag on the sheath from Hardwick's in Seattle.
I have never used Cactus Juice; I would have no use for it in my field. I would caution anyone about using spalted or brittle woods for revolver stocks since recoil is a relentless thing.
Well seasoned walnut should do just fine. Try a plain straight grained set to use first before going crazy with figure. You're going to make mistakes.
