Japanese chisels and Aussie timbers
G'day,
I'm going to go down the slippery slope of Japanese chisels.
My question be thus, how does laminated carbon steel in Japanese bench chisels stand up to Aussie timber, with Spotted Gum as a good example of something nice and hard?
I've found a Melbourne supplier, an ex-pat Japanese bloke, who I've found as a good source. I don't really want to put out $ if they're very brittle and can't hold up against our hardwoods. I know you can get HSS Japanese chisels, against their white paper steel.
Below is an example of what I can get at the moment. He has more stock coming in 2 weeks time, which I'll hold out for before heading out his way.
