Lovely, lovely tools. Feels good in the hand and looks great in the rack as they say. I've got stacks of them (apart from the Titans) mostly cranked. Can't say that I use them much either.

I reach for either a long, slightly flexible chisel or a really short one when it comes to paring. The long type I find best when smoothing something down on a flat surface or getting glue squeze-out out of corners, for e.g. By applying gentle pressure on the end I can (usually!) control the cut very finely. But my stubbies are the go when easing out a hinge recess or similar, the short length gives me better feel & control.
So a set of both types is mandatory, whether you're a user or a collector......

Yes indeed.
I've used mine in housings /dados more than anything else, but the perennial glue clean-up (I seem to be messy in this department) brings them out as well.
I picked up some long handled Japanese parers about ten years ago - usu nomi I think they are called, and I find them to be what I reach for the most when paring timber
