I happened to find myself on Christian Becksvoort's site today - see http://www.chbecksvoort.com/forwoodworkers.html -and noticed he has a set of chisels for sale:
He want's a mere $5875 for the 7-set, in other words $840/chisel.
Outrageous price of the week

Re: Outrageous price of the week
Ha ha, but they have a custom made case thrown in for free at that price
Apparently, no one else is capable of having custom chisels made to these specs. The document detailing their creation was destroyed. Upon their completion, these chisels emitted a light so bright the document could not resist the temptation to burn away leaving nothing but the radiating magnificence of the creation left behind.
A bargain at any price.

Lol, one would hope not. The most Gucci'd out Tasai chisels on Iida's site are $300~ each retail, so that's more than double.
I am genuinely curious as to why they're so heavy looking, they look like a merge of dovetail chisels and mortise chisels.

Well it is quite a nice box, having a locking pin and so forth.
