This is the set most often recommended to someone moving up from a hardware-store chisel. Cr-Mn steel hardened to around 59 HRC, ground bevels, and hornbeam handles with a steel ferrule at both ends so they take a mallet.

They arrive ground but not sharpened, and they need their backs flattened before first use. The first 20 mm or so, on a coarse stone, until it polishes uniformly. That job takes about twenty minutes per chisel and it is the whole difference between a chisel that pares and one that skids.

The bevels are ground at 25°, which suits general bench work. For mortising or knotty stock, add a 30° secondary micro-bevel and the edge will last considerably longer.
