I know in the USA they have streams of decent vintage bevel edged chisel makers but are there any in the uk? I've also noticed that socketed chisels are alot more popular there as well
When I say bevel edged chisels, I am not referring to beveled firmers but chisels with nearly zero sides. I've only found one such chisel at a carboot and have 'inherited' a Robert Sorby boxwood handled chisel which has its sides slightly larger than the one I purchased. Firmer chisels on the other-hand come by the bucket load especially the 3 shamrock Marples
So my question is: where are all the old bevel edged chisels and what are considered the best uk makers?
So far: Robery Sorby
Marples

thats what I've got so far!!!!!
