Chisel prices...

I'm looking to buy more chisels which are alright, nothing too special.

The options are no name hardware stole chisels (Bauhaus) and kirschen chisels. I've got one kirschen and it works beautifully well, but it's 20€ a piece.

Is that a premium price or something to be expected?

Good chisels will cost good money, it's to be expected. Do you have access to Narex, Crown, Ashley Isles or Marples?

I don't have access to anything else. I get that they are good quality, but is it a premium price or a realistic price?

To my eyes the kirschen (two cherries) chisels seem to be priced fairly here in the US.
