chisels

[Farrell]

My favorite notching chisel is a Japanese paring chisel - much like the one 
you are looking at. I just love it. The laminated steel is nice - easy 
sharpening.

I use the Tormek system. Excellent and easy to use. I've had it for several 
years and am not looking for anything else.

I have a full set of top-of-the-line Shapton ceramic stones for sale. 
http://www.shaptonstones.com/stones/profseries.php  They work great, but 
unfortunately it they require some basic level of sharpening skills. So out 
they go and in comes the Tormek!
