   I have the Sorby paring chisels and have used and sharpened the Taylors. My feeling is the Taylors have harder steel as the edge doesn't break down [roll over] quite so easily at lower bevel angles.

   That said, I certainly wouldn't sell my Sorbys in order to get the Taylor, but had the Taylors been available when I got the Sorbys and had I had the experience of both, I would now buy the Taylor.

   In each case, my Sorby I've had for years, the Taylors I used and sharpened was a few years ago.

   Also, check the prices for both at The Best Things if you haven't already:

   Take care, Mike

   TVP, Taylor outstanding, Sorby very good market goods. Be on the lookout as I think Woodcraft is dumping their stock of Taylors for a Swiss tool (not a quality but a marketing $$$$$ decision) you may get some bargains. Paddy
