Hi All I was looking at getting some chisels I need a 1/16" 1/8" and a 1/2" I am down to either Harold & Saxon or Blue Spruce Toolworks. Has anybody used both? Help me out I know some of you have the blue spruce ones. Trent from H&S said he could do macadamia handle ones for me for $85 AUS which is inline with what blue spruce wants for their stuff... |

I just bought the 1, 2 & 3 mm chisels here, and they're pretty nice. http://www.lmii.com/CartTwo/thirdproducts.asp?CategoryName=Chisels+%26+Gouges&NameProdHeader=LMI+Chisels Cheers. |

I'm actually happy with these: http://www.hartvilletool.com/product/11710 Not quite ready to go out of the box, but properly sharpened mine were dangerous & they're holding their edges well. For $15...it's kinda hard to beat. They have the same Rockwell hardness as the Lie-Nielsen's... |

Zac: I don't know about the ones you are considering, but I do know Blue Spruce has an excellent reputation. For myself, and being a professed tool junkie, I love my Two Cherries chisels. Great bang for the buck. I also use several styles of Japanese chisels, but for my general work I always reach for the Two Cherries. -Mark |
