Robert Sorby - Octagonal Bench Chisel
A leather cushion between the tang and the handle cushions the shock
Dec 01, 1999
Another offering from the venerable English toolmaker, this chisel has a brass-ringed, contoured, octagonal rosewood handle. This chisel is beautiful, the balance is great, and it even has a shock-absorbing leather cushion between the tang and the handle. The tool scored an “average” on the toughness test. The price is for set of four.
