I notice a lot of the older pig sticker type mortise chisels ( on that
auction site) have rather sharp points ( angle of sharpening). A lot
sharper that I thought would be used. Does anyone have a few around that
can measure the angle and report back? Is there some literature that
recommends, to the student or professional, the "proper" angle of
sharpening?
