Pfeil Swiss Made - Bench Chisel with Hornbeam Handle
This chisel features a comfortable, contoured handle and a top ferrule to withstand heavy mallet blows
Sep 01, 2008
Because of its shape, the hornbeam handle is particularly easy to grasp from the end. The blade was perfectly flat with nicely softened edges, making it easy on the hands. The cutting edge held up better than average. The fine craftsmanship and high performance make this a very close runner-up for best overall among the Western chisels.
This chisel is available at Woodcraft.
