Description

Used to shape, pare, and clean joints with high precision, the chisel features a sharp, flat blade forged from hardened steel for durability and edge retention. The blade’s beveled edge allows for controlled cutting along or across the grain, while its sturdy tang is fitted into a robust handle designed to withstand striking forces. The chisel’s design enables delicate removal of material to achieve smooth, flat surfaces and accurate fits.

Safety advise

When using chisels, never work towards your body or others. Always keep fingers clear of the cutting path and ensure a secure grip to avoid slipping or hitting your fingers.
