sash, registered, or double hooped?

[Doorman]

ok, so i got a henry taylor registered mortice chisel a week ago, its fine looks nice and everything, but what about sash chisels, are the just for window frames or can they be used for general day to day use, they look nice, what are dooble hooped chisels, ive found no realy difference between them and registered chisels, confused :?

A sash chisel is essentially a mortise chisel which can be used for day to day tasks - they are pretty heavy duty chisels even though most are pretty thin in width.
Double hooped chisels are really just a name given to the handles that have a "ferrule" at the top and bottom. Some manufacturers don't make a distinction for double hooped chisel because it's their standard to put double hooped handles on all their chisels. So any chisel can have a double hooped handle - just depends on manufacturer.

much clearer, the sash and dooble hooped from what i have found (and cant get anything different) are robert sorby and the registered chisels are henry taylor

Henry Taylor also makes a double hooped registered chisel... or are you just talking the registered chisel you purchased.
