Cranked Paring Chisel

Made in Germany, these crank neck paring chisels work in areas that regular chisels cannot and are ideal for flush trimming joints, glue lines and plugs and cleaning up inside corners, dovetails and dadoes. Their off-set design allows you to register the face of the blade on the work for maximum control, preventing the blade from digging in when flush cutting.

The short blades on these paring chisels are made from a premium quality chrome vanadium tool steel, which has high resistance to metal fatigue. Each blade is hardened to Rc61 along its entire length, resulting in a blade that will hold and retain a sharp, fine edge over the life of the tool, without becoming brittle when sharpened. The blades are finely polished to achieve a mirror finish to minimise friction when flush trimming and cleaning delicate joints. The side bevels are finely ground to a narrow, tapered land for cleaning into angled corners and tight recesses. The blade and tang are forged from one piece of steel, which is seated deeply into the chisel handle for strength and durability. The handles are turned from solid ash, selected for its straight grain and strength, and have an oiled finish for a good grip. ©
