Ralph.. To clarify that a bit, IMHO cheap is bad, but inexpensive is ok..

I bought a $20 set of Harbor Fright chisels to practice sharpening, and they
were CHEAP...
Ok, steel, but way too thin to use safely...

The PSI chisels are much thicker and seem to hold an edge as well as my more
expensive chisels... and they're used daily... YMWV
