How are you liking the Veritas Chisels? I've been considering slowly swapping out my set but just not sure.

[@garynelles]

So far, I really like them. I’ve had them for about three years now. I wonder if the PM-V11 tool steel weighs less than 01 or A2 steel. They seem lighter than the chisels I purchased at a big box store 15 years ago. The only thing that I don’t like about them is the bevel edges are very sharp to hold onto so you do have to ease them on a fine stone so they don’t cut you while you hold onto them. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Did you flatten you 1000-4000 and 8000 only once for that 1 hour sharpening session?

I don’t recall exactly what I did in that video but currently when I sharpen my chisels I do 2 or 3 at a time. I start by flattening the water stones then I sharpen the widest one first and work towards sharpening the narrowest one last. The whole time I work the whole surface of the water stones to reduce the amount of dishing out that may occur.
Although in an ideal world you want the edge straight, it doesn’t have to perfectly straight. They can be slightly imperfect and the chisel will still cut just fine so you can get away without constantly flattening the water stones for sharpening chisels.
Plane irons on the other hand require the stones to be perfectly flat for top performance.
Thanks for watching, I hope it helped!
