Anybody hear of them or use them? I purchased a dovetail chisel from Lee Valley and that's what I received. Seems to be a decent chisel. White oak handle. Hoop was pre-set. Needed some honing and a bit of work on the back, but seems to cut nicely. I haven't tried chopping with it, so I can't report on edge durability. I tried looking them up on the internet and couldn't find anything. I'm wondering if this is a factory made chisel or handmade. At the price point of $77.50 for the 3/8" (9mm), it could very well be hand made. That price puts it into the same price tier as PM-V11 ($88) and between an equivalent Iyoroi $46) or Nishiki ($110) chisel.
