Thanks Whit. I have a several good sources for antique chisels at the moment. It just seemed that if someone was handmaking timber framing tools they would want to make the tools with features as close to original as possible. I have not seen a new chisel or slick that has even a clos resemblance to the ole tools. So often I see people dismiss the gentle curves as mistakes or abuse, when they are the reason they work so well.
