Darryl, Ed:

How thin are these chisels? How much do they taper in thickness?

Reason I ask is I have 3 vintage chisels which I consider to be parers, 
and they're all different, though of similar length blades (app 8in).

Marples boxwood handled BE, which tapers from about 7/32 to 5/32 in. at 
the tip,

Moulson Bros cranked which tapers from 11/64 at the crank to 7/64 in. at 
the tip, and

unidentified cranked which tapers from 3/16 to 5/32 in.

The Moulson Bros is fairly bendy, the Marples not at all.
