Product Description

Lie-Nielsen Leather tool roll.

Most bench chisel makers now use A2 steel (or in the case of Veritas, PMV11), in the making of their chisels. Basically this steel offers an improvement in edge retention although it is more difficult to sharpen. O1 steel, on the other hand, is still preferred by many for its relative ease of sharpening.

A (in A2) stands for air hardened

O (in O!) stands for oil hardened.

These chisels are pre-owned but have not been used.
