Sorby Octagonal Boxwood Handle Bench Chisel, 1 in.

Sorby Octagonal Boxwood Handle Bench Chisel, 1 in. is an essential woodworking tool renowned for its classic design and exceptional craftsmanship. Featuring the much-coveted octagonal boxwood handle, also known as the "London Pattern," this chisel combines beauty with practicality. The octagonal shape fits comfortably in the hand and prevents the tool from rolling on your workbench, while the dense boxwood material ensures durability and resistance to chipping. Enhanced with double solid brass hoops and leather shock washers, the handle offers added strength, elegance, and a refined feel. The blade is forged from a special alloy Sheffield steel, providing the perfect balance of toughness, edge retention, and sharpness. Precision grinding guarantees flat backs and crisp, accurate bevels, with each chisel honed to a 20-degree bevel and a 25-degree secondary bevel, ready for immediate use. Every blade undergoes individual diamond hardness testing to ensure superior quality. The blade length varies between 5 to 7 inches depending on size, with an overall chisel length ranging from 10-1/2 to 13-1/2 inches. Model Number: F16725Y
