[quote quote=312012]Steve you may have a dud. Contact Lee Valley, they are usually really good about exchanges/refunds. i have had the lee valley Narex chisels for about a year now, and after sharpening 3 or 4 times real well i haven’t had a soft edge since.

I’ve had them for a while and since they aren’t one of their products I’ll just hang on to them. Maybe I’ll try taking some more steel off.
I have a set of Narex chisels from Lee Valley. They work well for the most part and I’ve sharpened them quite a bit, but they still seem soft to me. I was working with white oak and chopping the sides of a dado absolutely destroyed the edges. I was resharpening A LOT because they were nicked and deformed. I’ve never used “nicer” chisels so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it didn’t seem normal. I was sharpening at 30 degrees and didn’t want to go higher because of some other projects I have coming up in softer wood.
