Does anyone have experience with or opinions about the Robert Sorby #570 Sheaf River Butt Chisels? I came across these on the Hartville Tool website and cannot seem to find much more information on them.

I have a set and am very pleased with them. Some people say that newer Robert Sorby's don't keep their edge. At least for these, I would have to disagree. I find these are superb for close-up paring
No, the sky is not falling - just chunks of it are.

Thanks for the feedback Allen. The appeal of the Robert Sorby butt chisels is the side bevel being ground down to 2mm or so and the tapered bolster.
Another option I am considering are the MHG butt chisels with the side bevel that is ground down to 1mm or so. Unfortunately, I have not yet found a U.S. retailer for these and would have to order from a retailer in Germany.
