I use my Pfeil for paring. My LV PM11 are used for chopping. I have LN fishtails that I like. I like the all.
If I had a lot of money, there are some Japanese chisels I like.

The steel seems weird to me in my 2 cherries. I have a hard time getting a good edge. I have no knowledge of metallurgy so I can't tell you what is different. However, the steel seems to be a bit more "chewy" and it is hard to get the wire edge off of the steel. Of course, the problem could be in the operator. I just know that for me, they are a lot harder to sharpen than my LV O1. Plus, like George said, they round off all the sides and buff them to death.

Ken,
that makes perfect sense, I think that's why I have never found Japanese chisels very comfortable and as a result have not been tempted to purchase,also I have an aversion to "collecting" blame my wife, she has shoes dating back to her early twenties were now late fifties, we have had a series of "discussions" about them every time we have moved.
