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 @ 25°, 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 4.75". Total tool length is 8.0" with the regular handle, and 11.125" with the long 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.

IBC Chisels Are Premier Tools

The tool's design, materials, and machining are first rate. These chisels feel like they belong in your hand and, after a proper sharpening, perform exactly as you would expect at this price point. Are they expensive? Yes, but they're heirloom tools.

Excellent tool

I started a cabinet project using hickory and have not had to sharpen my chisel over the entire project. It was still cutting butt hinge mortices right up to the end and still grabs a fingernail. Thoroughly pleased.

Best chisel I have ever held

You can tell great care and thought went into its design and craftsmanship. The balance is great, it disassembles and comes back together like clockwork. The blade is superb, with clean, crisp edges.

Amazing

Putting a secondary and tertiary bevel was a breeze, and the way it cuts is beyond comparison. End grain on sapele, walnut, and maple come off the plane in beautiful solid ribbons.

As promised!

Easy to sharpen, well made and a high degree of pride of ownership. It is a tool you stand back and say I don't know how you can improve on this. Buy it once and never regret it.

Highly recommended

This quality one fits like a glove. I see $150 for a chisel as nearly free, lucky to have these for so little investment.
