    I like my footprint brand chisels. I have an old Sears Craftsman set I use when I am worried I might damage them (or for glue scrapers) and reserve the footprint for better work. They are real fractional inch sizes and hold an edge well without being brittle.

      Here is a link to the Grizzly chisels that were rated as best value in the Japanese chisel category. I put a set of these on my xmas list.

        I own a single Robert Sorby in 3/8" that is the best I've ever used. I also own a 1/8" two cherries that is great. Both of these are so much better than all the other chisels that I have, mostly Stanley, that next time I feel the need for a new chisel I will bite the bullet. The difference in holding an edge is remarkable.
