I got my learningn set...

...of chisels, to all that gave me advice in this NG which I really appreciate
and thank all for. They 'must be' an older make of Leichtung workshops
cheapos like these:

Made of chrome vanadium, the ones I got have Gilt Edge blades like these
current Sorby's: http://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/bevel.htm and Stanley 750's
and 720's. These blades are made in Japan and are cut super precisley with
no second cutting bevel, new but someone tried to do a minor amount of
lapping on one of them. Any opinions on the cr-va as chisel steel? There is
no telling of rc-hardness, but they are beautiful blades!
