Product information
These mortise chisels are truly solid.
The cutting edges are 12.7 mm thick at the end of the bevel and maintain a consistent width along the entire length to ensure good guidance in the mortise. The cross-section of the chisels is slightly tapered to reduce friction against the mortise walls and allow for slight adjustments when chiseling. To facilitate deep chiseling, the primary bevel has an angle of 25°.
The angle of the secondary bevel is 35°, providing a stable and long-lasting sharp edge. To facilitate chip removal, the upper end of the bevel is rounded and can serve well as a leverage point. The connection between the blade and the handle is made using a tang and a bell-shaped ferrule. The tang is flattened to prevent the handle from rotating. The ferrule, turned from a solid blank, sits directly on the neck of the iron. The handle is made from heat-treated Canadian hard maple.
The heat treatment alters the wood’s cell structure, making it significantly more resistant to moisture penetration, thus preventing shrinking or swelling. The handle is designed to fit comfortably in the hand and has small flats parallel to the blade to provide tactile cues for the correct finger positioning. The end is domed and features a stainless steel ring to prevent chipping from mallet strikes. The chisels have an overall length ranging from 295 mm to 311 mm, and the blades are between 138 mm and 159 mm long. They are ground enough that you only need to hone them before the first use.
