Dovetail Chisels
Another product recently redesigned is a set of very fine quality dovetail or detail chisels. The thin blade allows the chisels to get into tight areas such as between tails in the area receiving small pins in dovetail joinery, or to clean up the sides of small or thin mortises. The blades are A-2 tool steel, hardened and tempered to 60 Rc. The blades are precision ground and honed, and come ready to use.  The handles are finely turned, beautiful cocobolo with a nice detail bead to add interest and a visual separation between the wood handle and brass ferrule. The handles are polished and waxed with no other finish. The widths available are 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2  inch. Lengths are 3-5/8, 3-7/8, 4-1/8, and 4-3/8 inches respectively.  The handle is uniquely sized and has a more bulbous shape than most chisel handles for a wonderful feel and balance. These are chisels that you will want to cherish and pass on to future generations.

Detail Skew Chisels
We are excited to announce our new pair of detail skew chisels to compliment our newly re-designed dovetail chisels. These are some of the finest skew chisels currently available. They are 3/8 inch wide to fit into tight spaces, and 4-3/8" long. The sides are concave, similar to the dovetail chisels, to allow maximum visibility of your work and to allow paring into acute angles. The blades are made from the same A-2 tool steel as the dovetail chisels and hardened to 60 Rc for superior edge retention and sharpness. These chisels are ideally suited to cleaning out the socket bottoms of half-blind dovetails. They will be a great addition to your collection of fine woodworking chisels.
