@ianhatesguitars you asked the Rockwell hardness if the old LMI chisels. I once had mine tested when I worked at a tool and die shop. I forget what it was but it cause a lot of talk in the shop that day. All the tool and die makers were amazed at how high the Rockwell was. I would be curious to learn what that measurement was again. I would love to get some more of these chisels.
I’m curious. Those chisels are also easy to sharpen. Which, with my limited understanding, should mean that they are more difficult to sharpen. Which I never found them to be.
