Narex paring chisel, 1/4". It is substantially thicker in cross section than traditional paring chisels, and its length and heft give accurate registration with the work and control through the cut.
The 9-1/2" blade is forged from silicon-chrome steel (Rc58-60) and tapers from 9/32" thick at the shoulder to 7/32" next to the 20° bevel. The bevelled sides reduce sidewall friction in tight recesses. The hornbeam handle has a brass-plated steel ferrule. The 1/4" and 1/2" sizes have smaller-diameter handles for correct balance; the wider sizes share a larger handle.
Also available in 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4".

There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
