I don't think those are unique to Lehman. This looks like the same thing at woodcraft: http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2000243/220/Chisel-112.aspx Note that niether site tells you the brand name. I bought one of these from woodcraft 15 years ago as an ignorant ameteur, and it was junk - would not hold an edge. The one you want is also on the woodcraft site: Barr Framing Chisel But you can get a better price at their own web site: Barr Framing Chisel In my shop, we use laminated antiques. Look for a post on this forum by Jom Rogers.

I think the Lehman and Woodcraft are off label Sorby's. Not a bad chisel, but the Barr is far superior IMHO. But I'm biased and have 2 Barr chisels and his framing slick.

I am in the same boat as Daiku, I use old antique laminated steel, couldn't be happier with the one's i've got!
But I'm wondering, who is this Jom Rogers fella anyway?

Those chisels with the diamond label on them are the Damic (sp) brand, which I believe is part of the Henry Taylor company. I have one, and I am not impressed with the quality, or the finish. The craftsmanship of the Barr is excellent, but they are not shaped like a traditional American framing chisel. I use antiques myself. I've bought five antiques from Jim Rogers.

Well, I'm sure that the edit function wasn't working when he noticed that he spelled my name wrong.... JIM Rogers
Whatever you do, have fun doing it!

Ok!
I got my eye on an old 1.5 inch laminated one (Ohio)...but it has beveled sides. Does that matter?
Thanks
