This company must make (some-of) the best non-Japanese chisels in the
world, as a socket slash tang design. Now selling for way less on eBay
with dutch auction so it's easy to get them much cheaper:
http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&include=0&userid=tingosa&sort=3&rows=50&since=-1&rd=1
or do a seller search for " tingosa ". Compare prices to the company site
prices: http://www.harristools.com/ He told me in an email, the handles
are either greenheart or cocobolo. These lower prices include machined
infill planes.
