I always wanted a set of those, but I have a set of Two Cherries (Kirschen) so there really is no reason to get the MHG ones (but I still want them
)
I almost always work in inches, but I like having a set of metric chisels. It can be nice to have slightly undersized chisels to clean out mortices, rabbets, dados, etc, where the chisel sides don't catch on the wood.
Back on topic, the Two Cherries are nice chisels. Some folks have issues with the polishing, but it has never bothered me; a little extra grinding on the bevel in the beginning righted everything up. The only thing is that they are A2 steel, and they require a slightly higher secondary bevel than people used to O1 or vintage steel (750 style steel) may be used to, like I was when I first got them. I tend to use them in harder woods or with a mallet, where edge retention is important. For softer woods or light paring in harder woods, I tend to favor my set of vintage 750 style chisels from various manufactures.
If I was starting out and needed chisels, I would probably try the new Stanley Sweetheart 750 chisels. I like that size and style chisel, but wouldn't want it with A2 steel like the LN ones are. For an A2 chisel, I prefer a longer handle like the Two Cherries, but that is just me and my preferences.
And if I am being honest with myself, I probably could have just kept using my original set of blue-handled made-in-Sheffield Marples chisels that I have had for 20 years. But once you get the chisel bug, it is hard to stop. I have to remind myself,
I really don't need to buy a set of Ashley Iles, Sweetheart, Pfeil, and MHG chisels.
