I bought a $20 set of Harbor Fright chisels to practice sharpening, and they

Ok, steel, but way too thin to use safely...

Either that wasn't the HSS set, or they've changed it. I bought one
several years ago and it was a great learners set. And it was cheap
enough that I didn't mind wasting a lot of metal to learn how to sharpen.

While I have better quality tools now, I haven't thrown away the HF
HSS set. And if it hasn't changed I'd still recommend it as a starter set.

I've "turned" the HF "reds" into scrapers, but I enjoyed messing with
them to learn more about various grinds
