I aquired a set of Garrett Wade skew bench chisels not so long ago. Really put them to use for the first time this passed weekend. I immediately found the value in their functionality, but the metal on these particular chisels was extremely soft... using them on hard maple litterally BENT the edge!!
I got them fairly cheap (slightly used), and now I think I know why!
So, I would like to replace them very soon... was thinking of one of these two...

Any suggestions? Others in this price range or lower to consider?
