Veritas PM-V11 butt chisel, 1/2".
Butt chisels are made in wider sizes than most chisels, making them efficient for wasting out large areas, such as the mortises for installing butt hinges. They also have shorter blades that some woodworkers find offer improved control.
Made from PM-V11 tool steel, the blades taper from shoulder to tip for strength and rigidity, and have parallel sides and true bevel edges for clearance and minimal friction when working into an angled corner or a tight recess. Each blade is lapped flat.
The blade and handle are connected with a tang and a socket-like stainless-steel ferrule that seats directly onto the shoulder of the blade, with flats on the tang to prevent the handle from rotating.
The hard maple handle has been torrefied, a heating process that changes the structure of the wood at the cellular level, stabilizing it against swelling and shrinkage caused by humidity changes. Contoured to fit the hand nicely, the handle has a domed end that resists chipping from glancing mallet blows.
Overall lengths range from 7 1/2" to 8"; blade length (including bolster) is about 3". The 1/4" and 3/8" chisels have a 30° primary bevel; the others are 25°. All have 2° micro-bevels, and require only final honing before use.
Made in Canada.

Both makers produce very high quality chisels, so you cannot go wrong. Our own experience is that Veritas PM-V11 chisels are a touch better. The blade and neck are made in one piece, while Lie-Nielsen's are in two parts. PM-V11 also holds an edge for a long time and is easy to sharpen.
Also think about length. Long chisels give good control for paring and fitting, while short ones are handier in tight spaces and for work close to the body.
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.
