My mistake: did not realize that they were not easily obtainable by you guys. What I meant to say is that they are completely pedestrian, and certainly can't hold a candle to the vintage chisels that are easily obtainable on the UK ebay. You are not missing out on anything. Carry on. :)

Well thanks for the welcome. Interesting about the availability of the RI in the UK: I just assumed that since it was made in your country you would have had these available before us, and at a better price. As far as edge prep goes, I have been paring a very shallow trench to help register...

I've recently taken out my new Ray Iles OBM chisel for a test drive, and I am quite impressed. It is a substantial piece of hardware. Very nice machining of the D2 blade. Takes some time to get that D2 back polished and the bevel "shave the hair off your arm" sharp, but the effort was...

Greetings and salutations. I was wondering if anyone had any information at all on makers-marks/VIDI? I have tried repeatedly to contact this fellow and am now beginning to wonder if he is still in business? His work looks first rate and he has gotten some positive feedback on a number of...
