Can you manufacture axes as well?
My framing is largely dependent on axes, I find I can cut a mortise faster with an axe than with a saw, and enjoy the work better. I have learned a lot from Central European traditions, especially Swiss and Austrian (and have bought a number of old tools from Hungary)
Yes, those chisels on the link are outrageously expensive! Ei der Jammer!

I ask about axes, because there are a number of axes that I use (and a few that I need) that are only available to me through 1 manufacturer, which is in Austria.
