   My sister bought them for me as a christmas present several years back.  They're o.k., very utilitarian, they don't stay sharp very long, but are decent.  They're not your final set of chisels, but a set to beat around with and not hack up your good ones.

   It's a toss-up.  I don't like the handles on marples.  The Japanese chisels have red-oak handles and are hooped, & feel better in my hands.

   I have  set and if you sharpen them well they work just fine,and I havent noticed them not holding an edge,the hardest part is setting the handles in the collars on top,be sure to set the handles first before you sharpen so you don't undo what you did  in the first place.

   I'd say about the same in quality,I have both and use them interchangably,the only thing I didnt like was pounding over the hoops to flare the tops but ya gotta do it or they will come off. Like I stated I have had no problems with the edges getting dull quicker than any of the other chisels I have,I will say I don't care for the Two Cherries,gave them away to a friend.
