It's time to pick up a few new tools and I want to step up from M2 to either M42 or powder/particle. I already know Thompson get rave reviews but I have a few gift certificates to CSUSA and have been eyeing some Carter & Son. Has anybody used them and what's your honest opinion? Does the M42 + 10% cobalt hold an edge noticeably longer than M2? I really like their roughing gouge because it's milled from a billet, so instead of a rectangular tang it's round like a gouge which means it's much stronger where roughing gouges are known to have a weak point. The flutes of their gouges are also polished which is supposed to allow for a keener edge, again can anybody verify or dispell this claim?
