On top of everything else, I am lazy. I don't want to have to look at 
whats what.
  When they are all different you are never unsure.

Hey I just now noticed I still have a "dog" in the rack!
   I forgot about that. I guess it's just a trial chisel, still has a 
lame factory handle in it.

   I always try out a chisel for a while before I accept it and own it 
for real.
   No type or brand really makes much difference to me.  The guys who 
made them made tons of chisels, and nobody bats 1000. You got good, 
great and dogs coming out of any factory, on any day of the week, 
anywhere in the world, at any time in history. Its a factory.

   Well some of them make a disproportionate share of dogs, but I'll 
skip that.

  So, I want the particular chisel that works good for me.
     So I have to try it out a while.

  Then if its good I'll polish it out and make a handle and keep it for 
my own.
  If I just don't like it for any reason, I'll try out another candidate 
in the same size.
(it happens)
    yours Scott
