>While the old tool curmudgeons decide whether LN's latest offering makes sense or not, I'd just like to draw your attention to something I think LN did right.

Size matters, and they offered a pretty good set of sizes. LN could have made 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1". Had they asked me, I would have swapped the 1/8" for a 3/16". I don't think 1/8" is that useful. I would want a 5/8" asap. Otherwise, I'm impressed by their choice of sizes. It shows they are thinking about what we really need. Now if I can only talk them out of making that ridiculous low angle jack plane!

>I'm with you about both the 3/16 and the 5/8, I hope to see both sooner than later.

One of the things very nice about the LN chisels, compared to many other new chisels, is that they are truly fractional inch sizes rather than metric approximations.
