Nice! I was reading up some more on the PM-V11 steel… man, that stuff sounds like the cat’s meow. Let us know how you like the chisel.

Damn I pretty much just bought the complete set of o1 chisels and then these went on sale. I wonder if I could exchange them and pay the difference.

Its a great chisel…

It actually feels really good in the hand, and WAY more comfy than my japense chisel… It also hones pretty easily.

It looks like the chisel comes with a micro-bevel already honed. Do they specify the angle? I assume the main bevel is 25 deg and micro is like 27?

Edit: nvm, just checked the LV site:

”The 1/4” and 3/8” chisels have 30° primary bevels; the others are 25°. All have 2° microbevels, and require only final honing before use.”

The 3/8” has a 32 degree bevel… :P

BerBer5985 – Put the O1 set on Ebay and not only might you get full pop back on them, you can often get more (people in England are happy to pay N. American retail on Veritas products as this already represents a savings for them) and then just buy the new PMV11 chisels. You will save Rob’s company from having a set of chisels they can’t sell now because they are not new anymore. While Lee Valley’s return policy is very liberal, this is not something that is a warranty issue so they don’t really deserve to eat it because you didn’t wait for the new ones to come out. One day such generosity by stand up companies like LV might come to an end if we all take advantage of it too frivolously…

That said, if they are brand new in the package and never opened and honed, well that’s another story completely. I have had a the chance to test the PMV11 chisels out and I must say they are superb! You would not be disappointed with them. If I didn’t already have a wicked set of chisels, these would be in my shop, and they still might be soon as every time I go into my local Lee Valley store, it seems harder and harder to, as my wife says, “just walk away…” Haha

enjoy!

Rob,

If and/or when you guys make a set of mortise chisels with PM-V11,
I will be a buyer.

Alexandre, it’s not clear if you’re referring to the main bevel…? If you’re talking about the microbevel, then that’s exactly correct per the quoted text from the LV site in my previous post.
