I have not used their newest models. The original company has evidently been bought out so it is impossible to say if they really live up to it anymore. http://amzn.to/2p0zTwf

Just by the look of them, they are made in the same factory as the wood river chisels from Woodcraft. The ones I bought a few years back did not come exactly flat. Instead, I recommend the Narex chisels. I find they take a much keener edge and I prefer the wood handles. http://amzn.to/2H6lTI6

Everybody always wants to make a fuss about sharpening. Just find a piece of glass and get some sandpaper. Work through the grits. Keep a consistent angle. You will get the hang of it. http://amzn.to/2GaGsnl
