I’m hoping the Ashley Iles will be my primary users- dovetails, paring, cleaning up shoulders and tenons and whatnot. They have a nice small side bevel so they’ll fit into tight corners well. They seem to be a very good value among the nicer segment of chisels. I considered the Lie-Nielsen socket bevel edge chisels, but the AI were more affordable and I wanted the O1 steel in the AI set over the L-N’s A2. Time will tell if it was the right choice, but I’m excited for their arrival. I'm in love on this site
