Chisels are made to be sharpened. I have a set of mix and match I got from my fathers hoard of ill taken care of tools. They are old and made of better steel than anything today. If you look around at estate sales you can get some really nice things for a song. I plan to try a couple of them next week. I’d never pay $275 for a set of them. That’s just ridiculous.
Plus I take pride in my restoration of tools. I’m more proud of a chisel that I’ve restored and sharpened then I am at any tool I bought.
Some of the best things come from the worst tools because it’s the person, not the tool that makes the difference.
This of course refers to hand tools, not power tools.
