Do you have the hardness level hrc/rockwell?

I don't know the overall Rockell value but be aware Japanese steel is layered with both harder and softer values which would comprise an average value. Consider them more appropriate for paring and light chopping. These are very sharp, nicely ground and very inexpensive for the Japaneses style. I wouldn't recommend for hard use but they are fantastic in the shop for fine and detail work without the normally very high price. Personally I like them.

What sizes are these chisels?

24 mm = 15/16", 15 mm = 5/8", 9 mm = 3/8"

What is the practical difference between the wood options here? (evergreen vs. white oak)

I wondered that too. I actually never heard of evergreen wood. But I bought a couple of these chisels about five years ago and have loved them ever since. I just bought a few more. The original ones have oak handles so I didn’t give the evergreen handles a thought. You want a tough handle in a chisel, of course, and if evergreen, whatever that is, is as hard as oak, then there is no practical difference in my view. I’ve got chisels and gouges with oak, maple and ash handles and they all perform the same, that is, they do not crack or splinter when struck with a mallet. I have no chisels with evergreen handles.
