CI Fall - C.I. Fall – Bench Chisel
The C.I. Fall chisels have good edge retention and include a sizable end for hitting with a mallet
Sep 01, 2008
The rectangular stained beech handle wasn’t the most comfortable, but its sizable end was easy to hit with a mallet. Unfortunately, the handle was twisted in relation to the blade, making it a bit cockeyed in use. The blade’s back was flat, but the side bevels terminated with very large flats, making it less than ideal for dovetails.
C.I. Fall chisels are available at Traditional Woodworker.

Bought a 4 piece set of their mortise chisels a few years ago, junk. The ferrels broke almost immediately and the handles split soon after. You live, you learn. Bought a 1/4" mortise chisel from Tools for Working Wood and have never used a better one.
