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.
Fine Woodworking Recommended Products
Suizan Japanese Pull Saw
A versatile saw that can be used for anything from kumiko to dovetails. Mike Pekovich recommends them as a woodworker's first handsaw.
Marking knife: Hock Double-Bevel Violin Knife, 3/4 in.
This heavy, double-beveled knife stays on track in all directions, and works just fine without adding a handle.
Tite-Mark Marking Gauge
These gauges can be easily and precisely adjusted with one hand, which allows you to set the tool while holding a ruler or workpiece in the other. The quality is exceptional, and all have sharp cutters that offer great visibility.

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.
