Yeah I can give advice for awhile I was using the Estwing 590x but the grip just wasn’t doing it for me so I tried out the more expensive Miller Diamond Tooth chisel.
I would wait for the new chisel models to come out this year though since the Raptor Claw line of chisels is going to be coming out from Performance Chisel and those look reallly good.
Try reading reviews on crazychisellersforum.net there are also a bunch of good YouTube chisel review channels like Color Me Chiselled.
But watch out for Mr Chiseller on YouTube and Awl Shucks on TikTok. Both look like chiseling but they are, in fact, planing. I’ve tried reporting the channels but it went nowhere.
My daily driver is a Moroni medium-fine weight but the secret is that I sharpen is each time I’m done with it so it can tackle just about anything. If you’ve got a burl, you’ll need something beefier, like a Stanchion heavy weight with the leather grip (remember leather is forever) and a shallow angled blade. It’s more work but it’s much easier. (Please don’t DM about how Stanchion is now Chinese owned, I’m talking about their stuff from a few years ago. Avoid the rubber grips because that’s the new stuff)
I’d warn against crazychisellersforum.bet because some people go there to sell Chi like crazy people and it’s getting flooded by bots after that Wood Work game came out. I was part of the exodus to chiselorbechiselled.net and we are slowly growing!

I use old Chisels made with Swedish steel. Nooitgedagt and whatever I can get my hands on.
