I normally hone my bench chisels to 30 degrees. I broke out a new set of Irwin Marple's yesterday to do the initial honing and noticed they said to go to 25 degrees. O.K., so maybe it's not a big deal since research shows the recommended angle is between 25 and 30.
However since I found the cracked 13mm in the set I went to Irwins site and there they said to hone to 30 degrees. (I'm starting to get a little annoyed at Irwin anyway).
Sooo, to what angle do you folks go with, disregarding any micro-bevel you may use.
