and I haven't even STARTED to collect gouges yet...

For gouges I recommend Stubai. They use a steal that holds an edge incredibly well and
doesn't take nicks unless slammed extremely hard into like a knot, or a very hard twist in
the grain, even then the nicks are very very micro. I am experienced as an owner of their
bench chisels.
