Edge holding *PIC*Response To:
what chisel shape would you choose.. *PIC* () David Weaver
I managed to snap a picture of the rosewood handled 5/8th chisel after vigorous chopping of cherry. 6 cubic inches and the edge does have some bits and pieces of failure, but they're minimal (nothing big enough to leave lines) and the strange thing is that it continues to shave hair a little bit.
There are spots here and there just a little deeper than this, but nothing bigger than a thousandth or so deep.
The failure is very uniform edge to edge (the unicorn test edges looked better than this on maple, but the chisel edge was wider and the volume chopped was a lot less).
