I've lost count of how many chisels I have. Different makers different types. I didn't really need another set, but I thought these looked nice, and I could grind a different bevel on some of my older chisels and repurpose them. I was not expecting as much from this set as I did when I bought my LN chisels. But, was I surprised. I pared end grain pine out of the box with each of these chisels. I flattened the backs and honed the bevel, and I find myself reaching for these over my LN chisels. The chisel is well balanced, nice handle and socketed so you can turn new handles if want to or need to. I used water stones (Norton) for flattening and honing and then stropped to a mirror finish on the hollow ground bevel. I like 'em a lot and am pleased. Update: I have had these for six weeks or so now. I am just as pleased today as I was six weeks ago. I have used one of these chisels every day for the past six weeks. I have cut in pine because of the pine corner cabinet I'm building. I have yet to resharpen the 3/4" chisel (I have stropped several times) and the thing still will shave end grain. Update: Months in use now. Still pleased. I'm finding the handles to be quite pleasing to use and they fit my hand well. The handles are very durable. They've seen a lot of shallow mortising work, and I have now used all the sizes included in the set. I have touched up the bevel on my finest stone on the 3/4" chisel and two of the larger ones for some paring work. Otherwise, going strong! Another update: Well over a year in use. The chisels remain a pleasure to use. One thing that I've found is these chisels are much easier to resharpen on oil stones compared to other brands (LN). I've switched from waterstones to oil stones (Dan's Whetstone Company) followed by stropping on green compound charged leather. I can resharpen right at the bench. No sink, much, much less flattening, no water, For me this is a big deal as I'm likely to always have a very sharp chisel and don't have to fuss with the water stones. Using the oil stones and strop, it's two minutes from dull to sharp (mirror finish on bevel and chisel face).
