Description

MHG's butt chisels are full-strength bench chisels in a short format: only 205 mm overall, with about 70 mm of ground, polished back behind the edge. The short blade brings your working hand close to the wood for precise, sensitive paring of hinge mortises, lock recesses and fine joinery, and they will do everything a standard chisel does as long as the mortise is no deeper than about 70 mm.

The set gathers the five most useful widths, 12, 16, 20, 26 and 30 mm, in a fitted wooden box. Each blade is hardened to 61 HRC (plus or minus 1) over its entire useful length for high edge retention, elasticity and durability, and the oiled ash handle fits the hand well. Made in Germany by MHG Messerschmidt of Schmalkalden.
