  • I have the Irwin Marples split proof bevelled chisel set. “Not as good as they used to be” according to the old blokes in the workshop but they said that of almost everything. They sharpen and hold their edge more than well enough for anything I’ve ever used them for.

    Flattening the back is key for any chisel. Didn’t take too long with the set IIRC.

  • Flattening backs on rough-machined chisels is a bit soul destroying. I use an Atoma coarse diamond stone now which makes it quicker.
