The best chisel investment I've made was a set of Japanese laminated
chisels. I also bought the Marples, found that I was spending far more
time sharpening them than using them. Those from Japan Woodworker have
been great! Not cheap, but great! There are several suppliers, some
with pretty inexpensive stuff, so be careful. Japan Woodworker does
describe their products accurately, so I would rely on them.

Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade some of my starting lutherie tools,
specifically my chisels (Marples Blue Chip -- which seem to have
their edges chip out far too often!). I'm wondering what type of
chisels others recommend, including specifics around shapes/design,
edge-holding capability, hardness, etc. that they have found useful
for lutherie.
Advice, anyone?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
