After having this article "on file" for forever, I finally decided to take a shot at the scary sharp system. Too make a long story short, it works unbelievably! I was so excited, I actually ran upstairs with the first chisel (don't try this at home kiddies) I tried it on to show my wife. And what do you know, she took one look at it, carefully felt the edge and proclaimed, "that's scary!" First time I've ever had chisel that would actually slice right through wood... and if I need to, I can always check my hair out in its reflection!
