Product Description

Lie-Nielsen Bevel Edge Chisels.

All but the two smallest sizes (1/8'' and 3/16'') are made from A2 steel - these will hold their edge longer than high carbon chisels and therefore require less frequent sharpening. Like the A2 chisels, the O1 steel (for the 1/8'' and 3/16'' chisels) are hardened to Rockwell 60-62, cryogenically treated and double tempered.

The chisel edges are square, parallel along the length, and very narrow so you can get into tight places. The backs are ground flat and finished by hand at 400 grit. The bevel is flat ground at 30°, but a higher secondary bevel (about 35°) is advisable, depending on the wood and how the chisel is being used. Additional honing is recommended.

Lie-Nielsen Chisels have Hard Maple handles.

There are 10 sizes, 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" & 1" and these are all available individually.
