I received my chisels and right out of the box I noticed that the 1" and 1/2" beveled edges looked like that were milled on some sort of angle. the edge looked like it was 90" from the side, but the face of the bevel was angled. Also, on the 3/4", one corner looked like it had been dropped or hit on something. I have e-mailed customer service to see what they can do for me. I'm going to have to spend a great deal of time getting these to where I want them. I know that they are not "the best of the best" and some setting up and sharpening is to be expected, I knew this from the other reviews. I just didn't know it would be this bad.

Love the chisels. Great set. Paid extra for the sharpening and they half arsed it. Not what I was expecting to see cutting into the wood. Really messed up my dovetails. Do a better job next time. When people pay extra for sharpening, they expect them to be ready for work out of the box. Other than that, theY look great, feel great and should have many years of use.

So I have been using these for about 4-5 months now with no real complaints. A lot of people have been saying that it took them a long time to flatten but I don't think that to be the case. I was able to flatten all of them in about an hour just using sand paper and elbow grease. They hold a decent edge and work all day. My only complaint is that I wish I had gotten some butt chisels as I think they are more comfortable to hold, but that is just my own personal preference and not a knock to these chisels.
