G'day,
I have a set of Two Cherries chisels that have been heaps better than the
old Stanley we have at work.
I juts got a catalogue that has Stubai chisels for sale at what seem like
decent prices.
Anyone able to tell me how the Stubai chisels would compare to my Two
Cherries chisels as afar as holding an edge goes?
Thanks,
Grant.
Cool. Thanks for the advice.
Grant.

Grant:
I have the Two Cherries set and find they hold their edge very well. The
Stubai are excellent, but even if they are harder the difference will be
slight. Unless you give your chisels a great deal of use and sharpen
frequently, the investment in Stubai may not be worth the price.

I second the recommendation to Diefenbacher, and also
refer you to his website:

Stubai are Austrian and make some great tools. I have a forstner bit or two,
plus a countersink bit or three made by them. I put them at the top of the
forstner bit tree. As for chisels, I can't say specifically as I've not
tried them, however, based on their other products, my guess would be they
are good quality.

Hi. I have both Two Cherries and Stubai chisels and love them !
They are of the best quality ! - That said: One MUST tend to
them FAITHFULLY ! That is to say; sharpen them well and,
depending upon use(s), fairly often.
But if you do a GOOD job of the sharpening and don't abuse
them, you will be in for a pleasant surprise - and so will your
grandchild when you present these tools to them !
You can't say that about many things (at all) today !
A friend of mine near here not only sells them both, he USES
them as well ! He teaches fine woodworking as art at some local
venues as well.
