Blade edge honed. Steel butt designed for heavy pounding with a hammer or mallet. Drop-forged chrome-vanadium steel blade, that is heat treated for edge retention. Includes protective blade guard. Ergonomic handle grip.
My analysis of this product showed that while it may look like a quality hand tool its performance left much to be desired. The blade wasn't sharp enough and dulls quickly, making it frustrating to use in an industrial and scientific setting .On the plus side, the handle is comfortable to hold. However, it cannot make up for the disappointment of the lackluster blade. Overall, i cannot recommend this chisel for anyone seeking a reliable and sturdy hand tool..
Pros
Sharp and durable blade makes it efficient for woodworking tasks
Cons
May require frequent sharpening after prolonged use
This is a wood chisel. I like the design, the materials and the price. I have no plans to carve the next big wooden statue or carve a dugout boat, so I expect this to work well and last my life.
