>I made an oops on the prices. The 2 cherries are significantly more expensive than the Hirsches ($55). It doesn't sound like either set would be bad for me though. I'll have to think about it more since I want to also get a smaller sized 2 cherry 4mm chisel anyways.

That's my suggestion. Better chisel for less money.

>Chico, I bought the 1/16" (approximately, it's very tough to get these metal things sized exactly) from LV, it works fine. It's very difficult to find on off the shelf.

>Hey Chico,
Somethings wrong with your math. The Japanese chisels are more money not less! Thanks for the alternative thought suggestion though.

Another alternative... Buy Swiss-made double bevel carving chisel from Tools'n Space and grind it to a single bevel. Very good steel and it's affordable, and comes in 3,4,5 and 6mm+ sizes.

>What do you mean by "It's very difficult to find on off the shelf."? I didn't catch on to this.

>Oops, "on" should have been "one." That is, it's tough to find a 1/16" chisel without special ordering.

Thanks Chico, I'll consider that suggestion
