Good question. I see them regularly at the auctions here, but have not yet owned one, or know anybody that has. The prices they ask, they ought to be good, and somewhere in my memory I think I recall hearing that they were desirable.
One of my bars that I consider about the best is a Windsor "speed tip", I think is the model. The steel seems very hard. It is old. Do they still make Windsor bars? Clicking on Baileys Windsor bars link takes you to Carlton.
I agree with Chris, though some bar brands seems to be harder steel and wear less quick, it doesn't seem like you need anything beyond standard average for what you are doing. I think you must mean semi-skip, not semi chisel, at the end of your post.
