Kirschen Chisels and Carving Tools Since 1858, Kirschen have been producing some of the finest woodcarving tools in the world. Designed and manufactured in Germany by the Wilhelm Schmitt Company, the special high quality high carbon steel used for the blades is made to a closely guarded secret recipe. Each blade is hardened and tempered over the full length and fitted with a tough, durable handle that is octagonal in shape. This makes it comfortable in the hand and also prevents the tool from rolling off the bench. With guaranteed superior quality, Kirschen tools will find a place in practically every carver’s tool roll.
1002 Bevel Edge Chisels
Thanks to the slight undercut of the chisel it’s easy to push into corners and finish dovetail joints. With a strong edge that’s very quick to sharpen, bevel edge chisels are normally used to finish dovetail joints. However, they are more than adequate for the majority of woodworking tasks due to the chisel being slightly undercut which makes them easy to push into corners. Kirschen bevel edge chisels are made from their own specially developed high carbon steel, ground and fully polished. The hornbeam handle is a traditional octagonal continental shape with both top and bottom ferrule and is fitted with a hammer button. Two sets are available. The 1181 set includes 4 fully polished chisels fitted with graduated white beech handles, each fitted with a steel ferrule and hoop to prevent splitting. When honed, these chisels will hold an excellent edge. The set comprises 10,16, 20 and 26mm widths. The 1101 set consists of 6 fully polished chisels in a wooden presentation case. These chisels are a fine example of a time when chisel makers took care to ensure that the handle was matched to the blade width. All 6 chisels are fitted with gradually larger white beech handles, each fitted with a steel ferrule. The set comprises 6, 10, 12, 16, 20 and 26mm widths in a wooden case.
