Product Description

Fishtail Chisels are perfect for reaching the back corners of half-blind dovetails and paring other hard-to-reach areas. Their unique shape offers versatility for right and left hand recesses.

Made from A2 Tool Steel, hardened to RC 60-62. Hard Maple handles. Overall length is approximately 8".

The bevel comes ground sharp at 25º, but a higher secondary bevel is advisable, depending on the wood and how the chisel is being used. On very hard woods, like oak, hard maple or exotic species, take lighter cuts and use a higher secondary bevel. Additional honing is recommended.

Customer Reviews

"For many years and up until now I have been purchasing quality tools from Classic hand tools. Over the years I have had some tools from well known makers that have had manufacturing problems. The Classic hand tool team have on every occasion efficiently and quickly sorted out tool problems I have had over the years. It is not only customer problems that they are good at solving. However, their general service of communicating with customers and delivery of products is second to none. After fifty seven years of buying tools from many companies I can highly recommend their service. Quality tools do not come cheap from any company, and in the case of CHT they also come quick when purchased. I wish the CHT team all the best for the coming season and years to come. Alex Tait "
