Have Sorby chisels deteriorated lately?

vendredi 24 octobre 2014

I've got a couple of 1/2 inch skew chisels, one is a high carbon version, the other is from McJings. I've never been satisfied with their edge-holding ability so today I bought the Robert Sorby version at the Wood show and ... It's no better than the others. So i thought i'll test them, honed them all to razor sharp, cut a piece of wood in 3 and made the same cuts. The high-carbon version became blunt first, then dead heat between the other 2. I last bought a Sorby 3 years ago, a spindle gouge and it has reasonable edge-holding qualities, has there been a deterioration or is this just a bad one?
