Sorby Boxwood Handled Traditional Bevel Edge Chisel, 1/8 in.

Sorby Boxwood Handled Traditional Bevel Edge Chisel, 1/8 in. Bevel edge chisels are the most versatile and widely used of all bench chisels, making them an essential tool for any woodworking enthusiast. This particular chisel features a smooth Boxwood handle and measures approximately 10-1/2" in overall length. Sorby offers two styles of bevel edge chisels: the Traditional Bevel Edge and the Gilt Edge. The Traditional Bevel Edge chisels have shorter and less pronounced bolsters compared to the Gilt Edge versions, providing a classic and practical design. The blade is forged from a special alloy Sheffield steel known for its perfect balance of toughness, edge retention, and sharpness. Precision grinding ensures the backs are truly flat and the bevels crisp and accurate. Each chisel is ground to a 20-degree bevel with a 25-degree secondary bevel and honed, ready for immediate use. To guarantee quality, every blade undergoes individual diamond hardness testing, as indicated by the indentation point on the face. Crafted in England, this chisel combines traditional craftsmanship with modern quality standards. Model Number: F16603H
