I don't mind buying expensive/good stuff I have a mix of Japanese, Lie Neilsen and Veritas chisels for fine work. But for chisels that take abuse I find the cheap ones work fine. The ones I use for morticing are sharpened on my tormek at the beginning of every day they're used to a 35 degree primary bevel which means that the edge is more robust. They do loose their edge quicker but I just keep my strop nearby and give them a quick polish every 5 minutes or so which maintains them nicely
