1/4 Inch Paring Chisel - Blade + Ferrule only

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 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.
