Original western chisles going back a bit over 100+ years ago were constructed the same way iron for the body then a hardened tool steel cutting edge.

What about the chisels laid flat on the surface? The Japanese back touches the surface all along to the back.The handle stays out of the way. Western chisel backs only touch the surface at the edge .
