I have a LN chisel plane (small one), mainly because for a number of years, for every gift giving holiday, my wife would go into my shop, look over the LN tools she could recognize and when she saw what I didn't have, that is what I would get. Far better than shirts, shoes and similar stuff like that I would not wear! For this past Father's Day, since the last time we were at a flea market together I was looking for a 3/4" dado plane, she came up with a virtually unused Stanley #39 in that size (I did not dare say I was looking for a woodie).
As to the chisel plane, it is a tool I rarely use, as my previous methods still serve me well. I have better control with a wrestling with a paring chisel, but the LN remains in the cabinet just in case! I did follow a suggestion in this thread to put a convex bevel on the blade and I will try that out for the next trimming task.
I suppose this is a good time to mention that though I have many, many tools (as most here probably do), the ones I use all the time do not number very high - same #7 jointer, same #3 smoother, same block planes (LN 102 and Stanley 65), same chisels, same saws. Funny thing is, most are also vintage.
If the thunder don't get you, the lightning will.
