Overview
The Faithfull FAIPLANE6012 is a chisel built from cast iron or alloy steel and weighing 948 grams, roughly double the heft of a typical bench chisel. Faithfull sells it with no description, so exact sizing and blade width are not confirmed on the listing.
At 948 grams this leans toward a mallet-driven chisel rather than a light paring blade, though the listing does not break down blade width or overall length. Faithfull did not supply seller copy to fill in those gaps, so the weight and material call out are what buyers have to go on.
- 948 gram item weight
- Cast iron or alloy steel construction
- Sold under the Faithfull brand
Who it's for
Woodworkers who want a heavier, mallet-capable chisel and are comfortable buying on brand reputation and weight alone. Less suited to anyone who needs an exact blade width confirmed before ordering.
Pros and cons
- Heavier build suited to mallet-driven work
- Blade width and length not listed
- No seller description provided
Performance notes
The 948 gram weight points to a chisel built for mallet work rather than fine paring, since lighter paring chisels typically run well under that mark. Construction uses cast iron or alloy steel, materials chosen for edge retention and durability rather than light handling.
