Excellent IGM Bevel Edge Chisel for woodworkers who appreciate quality and traditional workmanship. This chisel can be used to make sharp corners, dovetails, mortises, and tenons. Fine ground, polished blade is forged from high alloy steel and tempered to 60 HRC, increasing edge retention compared to ordinary chisels. Fine ground blade with a 25° bevel requires honing before first use to achieve exceptional sharpness. We also recommend a 30° micro-bevel on the blade for a long lasting edge retention. The narrow, fine ground blade edge is ideal for working in tight spaces, especially when making dovetails. The handle is made of high-quality, dense hornbeam, which withstands even strong mallet blows. The hornbeam is shaped to an original ergonomic handle that is hand-polished and then treated with a paste wax finish, ensuring a comfortable grip in the hand. The hornbeam handle is fitted with a shock absorbing leather washer and stainless steel ferrule, making the chisel highly impact resistant and providing better handling when cutting mortises with a mallet. IGM Bevel Edge Chisel is simply a unique tool that will last for generations.
