Single hollow vs multi-hollow Koymaichi Oire-Nomi

[Brad Swanson]

Fortunately my Koyamaichi Oire Nomi order has shipped. Unfortunately there was a snafu with the larger chisels (16 and 24mm) in that I ordered multi hollow chisels and Stu received single hollow chisels. The multi-hollow seemed the way to go with the wider chisels, but do they make that much difference? I really need to get to work on my Roubo and need to start using the chisels. Reordering the correct ones could take another 3 months, which I can't tolerate at this point. What would you do?

I'd hang onto them, my wide chisels are 24mm and single hollow...hasnt hindered me one bit.

I also have not found single hollow chisels to cause any registration issues in my usage.

I have single hollow chisels up to 42mm .. no complaints.
