I'm very plased with the blue steel bench chisels from the Japan Woodworker.

Hello everyone,

People are asking me what I want for Christmas. They know I have most
everything I could need/want. I am thinking I might ask Santa for a new
set
of chisels. I currently have the Lee Valley boxed set of chisels and I am
reasonably happy with them. I did buy a single 1/4" wooden handled Marples
that I ground to 3/16 and rounded for doing dovetails and it seems better
than my Lee Valley set for staying sharp and not rolling an edge. While I
did buy it at LV a couple of years ago, I just checked and they don't seem
to carry them anymore.

What are people opinions on what to buy in a high end chisel set?

Thanks,

David.

Every neighbourhood has one, in mine, I'm him.
