Chisel tip was not sharp when arrived. I ordered a lapping stone and some water stones to micro bevel it. All in all it looks like a big and solid chisel but I can't test it until the sharpeners arrive.
feedback is more for the seller. The double cherry chisel is strong and durable. but the chisel I revived had a broken edge, indicating it had fallen off. A new bit typically requires 15 minutes of work to become functional. this one will probably take 45 minutes to remove the broken edge. Damn
I've only cut four grooves with this so far but the edge has held up very well so I guess the steel is good. This is a very strong chisel and although the edge and spine required regular and not excessive sharpening and flattening, I was very pleased with the overall quality. Like I said; that's a great value.
