Thanks for that info. I am very familiar with LMI, but didn't realize they had chisels. They look very nice. As for my existing set, yes- I am going to keep them for rough use. The rust doesn't matter except now that they rusted it seems harder to keep the "business end" from rust. I just touch them up before use on the fine grit to knock off whatever rust crept to the working end. When I say they rusted, I mean really bad, completely brown end to end rusted. I keep them in a drawer with silcia gel packs, and they have lasted that way for years. Not sure what happened all of a sudden but I went to use them and they were completely covered in rust. Obviously the humidity, but I don't see why all of a sudden.
