Find a set of rust wood chisels for $1.00us.
This 1/4 inch chisel has the some issues with the edge.

Try a rotary tool to grind the tip flat then resharpen. Any pics of the grips OP?

Sharpen it back up. Maintain the main bevel. Apply a microbevel to finish it off.
Using the fine grit wheel on the grinder
Match the angle of the bevel
Be careful enough so I don't over heat the steel and destroy the temper.
Lightly touch the tool to the wheel.
The edge after the grinder.
You can see different facets where I didn't match the angle perfectly
But the chip in the corner is gone.
Fine grit diamond stone with some water
matching the angle.
The edge after just a few strokes on the diamond stone.
Moral of the story.
Don't be afraid to buy used tools,

Oops.
Picture now attached.

The handles.
The three piece set
The 1/4 inch in the middle was sharpened and hit with 0000 steel wool to remove the rust.
The other two will be next
But the race is on so will do later.

No microbevel like I told you to do. Also, your sharpening job looks like shit.
5/10.

Also I'll add for anyone reading this that is new to chisels or sharpening: the true test of a chisels sharpness is the ability to cut the wood without a mallet. If you can push the chisel by hand and make cuts into the wood, the chisel is good to go.

Micro bevels
First thing I find on google is micro bevels are unnecessary and time consuming to create.

Oh, and from your link, lol:
Paul Sellers says:
I wouldn’t try to persuade anyone. There’s two hundred years of craftsmanship to back up what we are saying.
So it's basically Paul's opinion and experience with no quantifiable evidence. No thanks.

This has got to depend so much on what wood you're cutting. There's some difference between pune and ebony...
