Let me tell you, you get what you pay for. I first bought a set off Ebay - thought I was getting the deal of a lifetime. 18 chisels, sharpening stones, and some accessories for like $30. They suck. I've heard time and time again that Flexcut, although pricey, is the way to go. I bought two sets of Flexcuts, the starter set and the large Mallet set. They are so sharp I cringe at the thought of one falling off my bench onto my foot. But the thought of chipping one is even worse. PutiTiki
