These are Hefty, solid, comfortable chisels, that will soon become your favorite! I designed these years ago for pianomakers, to hand notch maple bridges. These were previously made of high speed steel blanks, but are now shaped out of 1/2" x 1" Tool Steel, Hand Hardened and Tempered by Oil Quenching.... Holding a very nice edge under tough use. The steel mass allows for a steady controlled cut... Hand turned handles of tough Black Delrin. Turned bronze heavy duty ferules. A nicely balanced tool. |

Materials have changed, in efforts to make an overall tool that is easier for the user to sharpen and manage, without losing quality, and a keen edge. It also just makes the most sense in manufacturing and pricing. |
