Only my opinion,
I would start with USA, German, or Japanese steel. Then find the one that fit my hand with the most comfort. I have only got a very few chisles which are Stanley, I think. I think if I used them any more than I do, I would go to Woodcraft and buy better and more specific tools. I am thinking of doing some wood carving on a set of scales or a knife handle. When I do, I will get a couple of more specific chisels for the job.

As important as steel is how sharp you keep it.
