A couple of weeks ago there was a breaking in at my school (I am studying preservational carpentry in Sweden) and my chisels got stolen. I mostly do traditional post and beam work and I had some vintage Marples with pretty decent steel that I was very fond of.
Now I need to replace them, and since heavy vintage chisels are rather hard to come by in Sweden I wondered if anyone can recommend on what to get on the new market? I need 1 1/4 and 1 ½, preferably rather stout and with good steel that will stand up to oak and pine. In my experience blades that taper in thickness seem to do better in morticing work, so that would be desirable.
