i am relatively green at timberframing and have recently started to build my arsenal of tools. I haven't sacrificed quality because of price until now. I just purchased a woodcraft slick because I am not a wealthy man and every penny counts(not enough pennies for a Barr)and was shocked at the "not at all flat" grinding job. I don't own another woodcraft chisel to mark its longevity against but i am curious if the bad grind is a sign of future problems. any advice would be appreciated.
