Blue Spruce Toolworks Butt Chisels are some of the finest quality chisels available today. They are specifically designed for heavy duty use with a mallet. Made with both a strong socket and a deep tang construction, they are stronger than most traditional bench chisels and are superbly balanced. The handles are designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip for precision, fatigue-free work. The handles are figured maple that has been infused with acrylic to fill every cell. This makes an extremely dense and tough handle. The finely machined blades are only 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm)long and 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) thick at the bolster and taper down to the bevel. The side bevels terminate with a very small side edge land which allows use right into the sharpest dovetail corners. The blades are made from A2 tool steel which is some of the finest steel available for edge tools today. It is hardened and tempered in a computer controlled vacuum furnace to a hardness of Rc60. The cutting edge is ground and honed at a 30 degree angle. They are sharp and ready to use, however, you may want to perform additional, final honing for the ultimate edge.
PLEASE NOTE: Blue Spruce Toolworks chisels are made to order and may have a lead time of 3 to 4 weeks.
