Bench Chisels
Bench chisels for dovetailing, mortising and paring joints. The range covers chisels in many widths and styles, from everyday all-rounders for the workbench to Japanese chisels with laminated steel.

Mortise Chisels
Mortise chisels are heavy chisels for chopping mortises with a mallet. The thick blade registers against the walls so the mortise comes out straight and accurate. The range includes Veritas mortise chisels in PM-V11 steel, made in Canada.
-
Paring Chisels
Paring chisels are long, thin chisels for paring and fine-tuning joints by hand pressure, without a mallet. The long blade gives good control when paring dovetails, tenons and housings.
