Blue spruce Chisels in Lie Neisen honing guide ?

[mongo]

I know that the LN honing guide was built around their products. Anyone have any idea how well Blue Spruce paring or dovetail chisels will work in it?

Thanks

They work just fine.

I know Barr Chisels won't fit in the LN Honing Guide.

Philip1231- Good to know on the Blue spruce appreciate it.

Belle City Woodworking- a shame but good to know as well. They are too thick? I know the slicks would be a bit long?

I had Blue Spruce paring chisels and have the LN honing guide.  The 1/4" Blue Spruce did not fit the LN guide.  The 1/2" did perfectly.  The BS 1/4" was a hair too thin for the guide. The guide's lips closed against each other leaving the 1/4" chisel loose.

They taper the slightest little bit and they are very thick blades.  I have begun to use a Veritas MKII honing guide for the wider chisels and the Narrow Chisel guide for the others.  Shame I had to get these just for these chisel but over the years I believe it will be worth the investment.  The project I worked on today the Barr Chisels made short work of it.

Mongo,

L-N have a pair of jaws for small chisels and I suspect these will hold the BS chisel.
