I'm on the hunt for a set of unhandled mortise chisels, ideally looking to buy four of them. I'm hoping to find something in the mid-range price-wise, preferably measured in millimeters. Any suggestions?

Honestly, do you really need four chisels? I usually just work with the 5/16" (which is about 8mm) for almost everything I do. If you’re trying to save some cash, maybe grab just one to start with. You can always expand your set later!
Narex is a solid option; they offer unhandled chisels that fit the mid-range budget. Just check their availability, as I believe they mainly have bench chisels listed, but it's worth a look! You can get good quality for less and even learn to make your own handles, which is a great skill to have.
