Designed to withstand the heavy blows required to cut deep mortices, these high quality mortice chisels have thick, rectangular section blades. Forged and hardened to Rc-61, the blades are made from the highest quality chrome vanadium steel from Germany. Due to the hardness of the steel, these chisels take longer to sharpen but will retain a sharp edge for longer. The chunky handle is contoured for extra comfort and sturdy steel bands support the handle preventing it from splitting or spreading when hit with a mallet. A shock absorbing leather washer sits between the handle and the bolster on the blade. The handles are made from European hornbeam selected for its straight grain and durability. Available in three sizes, these chisels have an overall length of 350mm. Made in Germany. Made entirely in Germany from the highest quality materials, MHG chisels come from the centuries old traditions of fine tool making but are produced using the very latest forging and hardening processes. This gives a chisel that is extremely efficient and incredibly reliable. The blades are premium quality German chrome vanadium; a metal that has a much higher resistance to metal fatigue than other tool steels and is perfect for tools that are designed to be struck with a mallet. Each blade is tempered and hardened to RC-61 along its entire length, giving a blade that will take and hold a razor sharp edge as well at the end of its working life as it did when new. The handles are made from slow growing European hardwoods selected for their straight grain and strength. Supported by a steel band, the handles will not spread or split in use and offer exceptional support to the deep seated tangs. Precision ground and sharpened before they leave the factory, MHG chisels are built for hard work and perform flawlessly.
