What Scott said.
I go to the local tool show, and buy decent chisels from
dealers, not even garage sale stuff, and I am paying like
$20 CAD for a tool that just needs a good sharpening.
Less if it needs a handle.
And the same thing from the Shiny Chisel Boutiques
will set you back $200.
And if you want a proper paring chisel you gotta buy an
old one. The ones that are popular now seem awfully
heavy, thick, and coarse to me, compared to the lovely
vintage paring chisels I have.
