Hi all, it's my first post on rec.woodworking!

My question is, what kind of steel works well for chisels? Is
chrome-moly steel suitable? I read in the a past thread that
chrome-moly wasn't suited for hand planes, are the attributes of hand
planes and chisels similar enough that the same would be true for
chisels?

o-1 works well if you want to make a few chisels. it's easy to work and to
harden.
