HemeolaMan -> Chisel choices (Aug. 18 2009 13:31:21)

Hello all, I'm considering replacing my marples chisels with some japanese ones. I've heard good things about funahiro's and imai's, I will also be buying some shapton stones for sharpening. It appears though, that my 19 mm marples chisel has begun to lose it's 25 degree bevel and I have no bench grinder with which to restore it... sad day. I'd like to know how often you luthiers regrind the bevels, i realize this depends on the amount of work and wood types etc. But, once every 6 months, 3 months, 1 month...?? also, I've been meaning to replace the planes in my crapass planes (which i have ground flat on the bottoms and modified of course ) I hear lie nielsen has some good blades. Any opinions?
