Overview
Six chisel widths, 6 through 26 mm, make up the Kirschen 1101000 set from this German woodworking brand. Blades combine alloy and carbon steel, handles are hornbeam wood, and the set is listed at 1.36 kilograms.
Kirschen is a long established German woodworking brand, and hornbeam is a dense hardwood traditionally chosen for chisel handles because it holds up under mallet strikes better than softer woods. Covering six widths in one purchase saves buying chisels one at a time. Wood handles like these need occasional oiling to stay tight on the tang, unlike molded plastic handles.

- Sizes: 6 to 26 mm across six chisels
- Handle: hornbeam wood
- Rated 4.6 from over 1,100 reviews
Who it's for
This suits a woodworker who wants a spread of chisel widths from small paring work up to 26 mm in one purchase. It is not the right pick if you only need one width for a single job.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Six graduated widths in one set
- Hornbeam handles suited to mallet strikes
- Covers small paring up to 26 mm joints
- Wood handles need occasional oiling
- No stated hardness rating in the listing
- Recorded as zero bought in the past month
Performance notes
Hornbeam handles absorb mallet impact better than softer woods, which matters since these are struck tools rather than push-only paring chisels. The alloy and carbon steel blend in the blades is typical of German chisel forging, which favors an edge that holds up under repeated strikes. Six widths let you match the chisel to the joint rather than forcing one width to do every job.
