Chisel Blade: Made from AISI High Vanadium A2 tool steel fully stress relieved, triple tempered, cryogenically treated and hardened to 60-62 Rc. Back sides have a semi-mirror finish. Beveled sides are ground with a small 90° flat for comfort and safety during use. Cutting edges are ground with a primary bevel @ 17°, square to the two side flats, with a 2° higher micro bevel and ship sharp enough from our factory to cut the hair on your arm. Blade length is 6". Total tool length is 9.2" with regular handle.

Ferrule: Made from a solid round stress and fatigue resistant steel hardened to 54-56 Rc with a double temper for added strength. Center bored, reamed, and flat on the top and bottom to slip over the tang and seat flush and firm against the flats on the blades two shoulders at one end and the flat top of the wood at the other. This ferrule design and solid construction protects the blade tang, bolsters the wood and provides the chisel with tremendous strength to withstand the lateral stresses and impact from mallet strikes. Hand polished.

Handle Steel Core: Made from the same high tensile strength stress and fatigue resistant steel as the ferrule, it easily seals the chisel together permanently or, repeatedly. Hollowed and milled open in its mid section for balance and weight with finely tapped ends that attach the threaded blade tang and striking cap precisely and securely. Handle length is 3.87"

Handle Striking Cap: Made from a solid round aluminum bar, it has a precision turned domed top and a finely threaded center post that is precisely and securely attached to the steel core. Its wide flat back seats flush and firm against the matching flat on the back of the wood for a wide area of contact. Tightening the handle compresses the back cap against the wood, fixing both firmly in place. Hand polished on domed surface. Weight: 10 grams.

Handle Wood: IBC Chisel handles are currently available with Maple or Walnut wood and at 3 1/2” or 7” long, Center bored and reamed to fit its steel core and cut flat on top and bottom for a wide area of contact with the hardened ferrule and aluminum back cap. Tightening the chisel compresses the wood between them to seal it in place. When the handle is detached, the wood can also be separated from the steel core and back cap to customize the handle with your own wood species and/or profile.
