Faithfull FSC Certified Straight Carving Chisel 12.7mm (1/2in)

The Faithfull FSC Certified Straight Carving Chisel is a precision woodworking tool crafted for both the professional carpenter and the dedicated hobbyist. It is designed for smooth, accurate cuts and features a deep-seated tang for exceptional strength and durability, ensuring a secure connection between the blade and handle that withstands rigorous use.

A metal ferrule reinforces the tool's construction, preventing the handle from splitting under the force of mallet strikes, which is essential for heavy-duty carving work. The chisel's blade is fully polished, offering a superior finish that reduces friction and allows for cleaner, more controlled cuts through wood.

Specifically ground at a precise 23-degree angle, the skew edge style of this chisel is expertly designed for making smooth out cuts. This angled profile is particularly useful for carving in tight corners and intricate details, where standard straight edges would struggle, making it an indispensable tool for detailed relief carving, joinery, and furniture making.
