I currently have a set of Marples (blue chiped as I call them ) bench chisels, that I have been laboring away to flatten and polish the backs of.
Anyway I am planning on getting a set of Two Cherries, recommended by a wooworking school I will be attending.
My question is, Two cherries makes a big deal about how they finely they are polished, which just screams felt buffing wheel, and a back that is not truely flat.
If they are polished but not flat, I am going to have to flatten the out anyway, so if that is the Case I will probably buy the unpolished version for allot less.
My other question, they cost about 2x as much as the Irwin/Marples, but are they significantly better than a well sharpened and prepared Marples.
If they aren't signifigantly better I might consider something of a bit more quality. I am not quite up to buying any LN'S right now, as I would rather spend the extra money on some dovetail and pairing chisels.
