I have both Japanese bench chisels (ore-nomi) and dovetail chisels (umeki-nomi) in various sizes. I'd like to add a 3mm chisel to my collection. For a chisel that small does it matter which style it is? I understand that the dovetail style is designed for lighter hammer strikes but you're not going to be wailing away on a chisel that small anyway so is there any advantage, one over the other?
Thanks
