Robinson Hall; Sheffield, Chisels.

[Stewie Simpson]

I purchased these chisels from the UK around 3-4 years ago. I finally got around to sharpening them this morning. They are a good quality steel.

Sharpened to a 25 degree flat primary bevel, with a 30 degree secondary bevel.

Norton Crystolon stone, followed by 3 finer grit water stones, was worked on both bevels.

The mirrored finish I was able to achieve from the stropping compound didn't show up clearly within the attached photo's.

Very nice Stewie! I have a fondness for older tang chisels, have a set of not so new Buck Brothers i'm trying to complete.
