So i'm really just beginning to get into hand tools; got my first set of chisels for christmas and i've only now begun to sharpen/hone them.
Anyways, i received a set of Stanley chisels (this line: http://www.stanleytools.com/default...c=3+Piece+FatMax®+Short+Blade+Chisel+Set). I realize they are low-end, but i figured i'd attempt to make them all they can be :icon_thum
I got the back of the 1/4" chisel to a mirror polish, but i realized the larger sizes are actually a bit concave on the backs (the 1" chisel is quite noticeable). My question is what is the best way to fix this? Or should i even bother with them? I spent a good bit of time with some mdf and sandpaper on this one-incher but stopped when the edges were beginning to round over...
Thanks in advance
