Robert Sorby - 167 Bevel Edge Chisel, London Pattern Handle, Set of 5

Product Reference: [ SOR 5167 ]

A set of 5 of Robert Sorby's 167 Chisels,
featuring double-hooped London pattern handles crafted from boxwood. The set comprises the sizes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1"

The London Pattern is considered by many to be the ultimate in handle design. Comfortable in the hand while working, unlikely to roll off the bench when not in use and balanced to perfection against the weight of the blade. Double hoops in solid brass give the handle extra strength and allow for light use with a mallet.

• Bevel edge chisels are the most versatile and universally used of all bench chisels and should form an integral part of any woodworkers toolkit. They can be used either free-hand making a gentle parting cut or with light mallet strokes. Side bevels reduce the risk of binding in the cut as well as allowing access to undercuts, like dovetails. Not recommended for heavy duty applications.

• Tapered bolster and ferrule design. Each chisel has a 25 degree primary bevel and a 30 degree secondary bevel to easily allow for the cutting of harder woods.

• For softer woods such as pine, woodworkers might want to re-profile the 20 degrees for the primary and 25 degrees for the secondary bevels. Very hard woods such as oak might require a steeper profile (30 degrees for primary bevel and 35 for a secondary bevel).
