    I think everything from Lee Valley is excellent, just the cost and freight stop us.

    Ikkyu, What size chisels are you after. I'm coming home in 2 weeks. Maybe I can find some space in my suitcase. Damien.

    The Hirsch/Two Cherries have a S bend in the blade rather than other brands that have a straight blade cranked near the handle. I would imagine that this would make sharpening using a jig a little difficult.
