There are 3 threads on chiesls right now!
Anyway, Those $40 chisel's look sick! dam ill take your word, because i got afew chinese steel chisels, and my mate says they are made from tin cans!?!
I think he's joking, but they actually do carve like they are :( :wtf:
Its easy to say this, but viking steel is the best, Swiss. I heard some darma are good but im not sure which. I have an entire roll of nearly 30 something swiss. (its about 3k a roll)(i need another roll and 1 of flats)
They cut like a white hot razor in butter. It makes me laugh, to see them cut through wood like butter :D :lol: If sharpened correctly they will last over 3 generations. But mine havnt been sharpened all year, i keep them sharp with a arkansaw stone. If you let them get blunt, they crack. The hardest part is sharpening them correctly 1st.

I havn't seen spanish yet
