Hi.
About the forming of socket.
I asked blacksmith and he said that he maid the chisels from a one peace spring steel. He formed the socket on a round template with a hammer while working with highly tempered steel.
He will make next peaces from swedish Elmax steel. Then we will compare spring steel with Elmax.
Blacksmith said that laminated steel (Damascus) technique is good for knifes but not for chisels.
