I have picked up a couple on Amazon, individually for $12 to $15 each, 1/4",
1/2" & 5/8".  I have found them to be very good, maybe not matching the
excellence of vintage Witherby's or Ward's, but nonetheless, an excellent
choice.  I have many, many vintage tools and bought the SW pretty much as a
lark.  Now, we'll probably hear the harumph's from the innerweb about how
can a cheap chisel be any good, but in my experience, with having used the
chisels (not just sharpening them each day), they are worthy of
consideration.

Dennis - I am not in the market for these, but a lot of beginner guitar
makes talk about these chisels with a whistful tone to their voices.  I was
going to re-post this and checked, and there are a couple of places that
have even better prices - saw as low as $158.  Compare to $229 at Rockler.
