Chisels

[whybob71]

Hi all
I have some question regarding good chisels.

Oire Nomi: it is possible to sharpen them with the MKII oning guide? If not, which guide do you recommend?

Lie-Nielsen bench chisels: they came with a 30° bevel and in few sizes. Why this?

Are all Oire Nomi created the same? If so, yes.

Lie-Nielsen bench chisels: they came with a 30° bevel and in few sizes. Why this?

The bevel angle is because the A2 steel used is inclined to chip at a lower angle if used for chopping - LN got early ones sent back, I believe. The size limitations, presumably you mean the fact they're no larger ones? Could be they haven't got there yet. Could be the method of manufacture makes larger sizes difficult/impossible to do. I know not.

Cheers, Alf

Alf thanks for the replay

the oire nomi I like are the Iyoroi Oire Nomi the Dick sells. Since I never had a jap chisel I don't know if I can sharpen it in my MKII.
