Hey guys
I would appreciate your opinions on your favorite current production chisels.
Primary use will be paring and general bench work.. My main wood hobby is acoustic guitars - so the edges can't roll when I work exotics like rosewood.. But they need to be able to take a keen edge for paring spruce - which tends to be very fiberous and not nearly as easy to work cleanly as you would think.
I am not looking for mortise chisels. Just good bench chisels.
I am looking for what you guys think of the chisels you use...
What has worked out well
what was mostly a bust.
The reason I ask about new, current production is that my experience with old rust is more miss than hit if you catch my drift.
Here are some I have been looking at...
