You expect high quality from Gedore. This chisel was actually made in Germany and looks very high quality. I wanted a thin chisel to break up mudstone when looking for fossils. It's thin enough, but I need to make it sharper. Quality steel should have plenty of sharpness without tarnishing too quickly on soft stone. Given the quality, the price was fair.
