I guess the first question is whether or not people find this type chisel regularly helpful? I guess we need to talk dovetails here. I understand that half blinds are where these guys shine, but at least intellectually, it seems to me they could be helpful cleaning out regular dovetails as well.
I like the idea of the Fishtails as one chisel works on either side and one chisel might be all I would need? It would seem however that a skew might reach the sides better and the fishtail reach the back better?
I find that both LN and BS make these chisels and in the case of these specialty chisels the prices seem to be about the same. I tend to horse things a little on occasion and thought the LN socket chisels might be sturdier although I don't actually see much pressure being applied to these more delicate finishing tools. Opinions?
