After doing some very crude carving on a pirate chest for my grandson, I started looking into better tools only to have a severe case of sticker shock. Does anyone have an idea as to how a 4" piece of steel and a bit of wood can command in excess of $30? Is it low volume or difficulty of manufacture or simply that's what the market will tolerate? If I look at an equally high end chisel it is around the same price with a lot more material so I am bewildered. Maybe I'm just too "thrifty".
