   You need to flatten the backs, and grind the bevels.  The bevel angle will depend on what type of chisel they are, i.e....paring, bench, mortice, etc.....  The cutting edge (intersection of flat back and newly ground bevel) MUST be rust and pit free, down to fresh metal.  At that point, put a microbevel on em', hone em' and go to work.

   Have fun!!

   Edit:  Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  Make sure you don't heat up the steel when grinding, as it will mess up the temper.  I personally prefer a wet grind, which will prevent that from happening, but it's not the only way.  Then, it's off to your sharpening stones, or whatever media you use.
